"A positive relationships exists between satisfaction potential for the five dimensions of child-training practices and tight-lose societies, and a negative relationship between socialization anxiety potential and tight-loose societies" (280).Hutter, Mark - The relationship of child rearing practices to societal "tightness" and "loo..., 1972 - 3 Variables

    This paper studies Pelto's (1962, 1968) operational definition for the tightness and looseness of societies in relation to child rearing practices.

  9. "There is wide variation in tightness-looseness that is distinct from other dimensions of culture, such as individualism-collectivism" (7990).Harrington, Jesse R. - Tightness-looseness across the 50 united states, 2014 - 2 Variables

    Authors contend that many of the differences across the 50 states can be attributed to the degree to which social entities are "tight" (have many strongly enforced rules and little tolerance to deviance) or "loose" (have few strongly enforced rules and greater tolerance for deviance). Significant correlations were found between many state characteristics and tightness-looseness.

  10. Tight states will exhibit a higher incidence of natural disasters, greater environmental vulnerability, fewer natural resources, greater incidence of disease and higher mortality rates, higher population density and greater degrees of external threat (7992).Harrington, Jesse R. - Tightness-looseness across the 50 united states, 2014 - 8 Variables

    Authors contend that many of the differences across the 50 states can be attributed to the degree to which social entities are "tight" (have many strongly enforced rules and little tolerance to deviance) or "loose" (have few strongly enforced rules and greater tolerance for deviance). Significant correlations were found between many state characteristics and tightness-looseness.
