- "Pressures toward achievement and self reliance are . . . [negatively related] with ceremonial drinking" (41)Bacon, Margaret K. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: ii. relations to other features of culture, 1965 - 8 Variables
This study explores cultural variables associated with frequency of drunkenness and ceremonial drinking. Particular attention was paid to childhood socialization variables, as well as politcal and social organization. Results show a low correlation between frequency of drunkenness and frequency of ceremonial drinking, and various other variables are associated with each.

This study examines the influence of the "child-adult" conflict on the frequency of drunkenness in a culture. In particular, the author examines the socio-psychological factors that can induce a child-adult conflict, claiming that this conflict may be more common when mothers are the primary dispensers of rewards.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Increased frequency of drunkenness is associated with societal customs surrounding dependence, thereby (i) negatively associated with indulgence of dependence in infancy, (ii) positively associated with demands for achievement in childhood, and (iii) negatively associated with dependent-seeking behavior in adulthood (p. 866).Bacon, Margaret K. - The dependency-conflict hypothesis and the frequency of drunkenness, 1974 - 5 Variables
This study is a reexamination of Bacon's (1965) previous cross-cultural study regarding drinking. The current study supports the dependency-conflict hypothesis that frequency of drunkenness is related to dependency needs in childhood and adulthood.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Food accumulation will be more highly correlated with compliance than over variables such as size of settlement, degree of political integration, social stratification, greater part of women in predominant subsistence activity, polygyny, bride price and bride service, unilineal descent (59).Barry III, Herbert - Relation of child training to subsistence economy, 1959 - 2 Variables

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - "Among societies with aboriginal drinking those with a definite sex difference have significantly higher scores in occurrence of extreme hostility" (58)Child, Irvin L. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: iii. sex differences, 1965 - 3 Variables
This study examines sex differences in alcohol consumption, suggesting that they are related to a nomadic or rural settlement, low accumulation of food resources, and strong child training pressure toward achievement. The authors suggest that societal norms often limit drunkenness in women because women's responsibilities (such as childcare) would deter incapacity due to intoxication.

Causal factors to the development of crime are examined. Frequency of theft and personal crime are tested against these causal factors in a search for correlations.
