- ". . . more societies in warm climates are above the median in emotional expressiveness than societies in cold climates" (337)Robbins, Michael C. - Climate and behavior: a biocultural study, 1972 - 2 Variables
This study proposes ways in which the environment may affect behavioral and psychocultural processes. Results provide moderate support for a relationship between climate and emotional expressiveness.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Cold-climate societies, in contrast to warm climate societies, will have higher functional use of owls.Munroe, Robert L. - Owls, Climates, and Experts, 2018 - 2 Variables
The present study explores the cognitive and affective attitudes towards owls in cold-climate and warm-climate societies. In addition, a few hypotheses were tested. Specifically, the research question asks which societies would have greater owl ethnozoological knowledge, functional usage, conception of owls in positive magico-religious terms, and positive supernaturalistic interpretations of owls' behaviors and characteristics. The results offer support for the initial predictions with the exception that cold-climate societies do not have more positive magico-religious conceptions of owls than warm-climate societies.

This article proposes that ground plans may be used as a criterion for determining the relative permanence of settlement patterns in archaelogical societies. Results suggest that impermanent settlements and small community size are significantly associated with circular ground plans and that permanent settlements with larger community sizes are significantly associated with rectangular ground plans.
