Leisure and cultural complexity

There is a curvilinear relationship between cultural complexity and average hours spent in productive work per day (pp 62, 65).

A linear model (substituting for the quadratic) was significant (p = .049) but was also rejected due to weak correlation (coefficient = .084).
