  1. "[In factor analysis of Murdock's WES, for the factor called matrilineal descent] the absence of this trait is combined with the forbidding of marriage of a man to his MoSiDa and a low loading (.44) of Hawaiian kin classification" (335)Driver, Harold E. - Correlational analysis of murdock's 1957 ethnographic sample, 1967 - 3 Variables

    This paper "reduces Murdock's 210 categories to 30 variables, and intercorrelates and factor analyzes the variables for six world subdivisions as well as for the entire world." This article also discusses factor analysis as a method and examines the correlations more closely between the two regions that differed the most, North America and the Circum-Mediterranean.

  4. In Western North America, matrilocal residence is positively associated with public recognition of girls' puberty (905).Driver, Harold E. - Girls' puberty rites and matrilocal residence, 1969 - 2 Variables

    This study challenges an earlier paper's claim that matrilocal residence predicts the development of girls' puberty rites. The author suggests that girls' puberty rites may in fact predate matrilocality in some locations.

  5. Findings: A factor analysis of key dimensions to describe a given culture yielded 12 factors. Factor 2, "father-centered family", loaded highly and positively on patrilocal marital residence and bride price; patrilineal kin group; castes present; Circum-Mediterranean, with Afro-Asiatic linguistic affiliation; active high god; and subsistence by animal husbandry. Factor 2 loaded highly and negatively on painful female initiation rites (57)Stewart, Robert A. C. - Cultural dimensions: a factor analysis of textor's a cross-cultural summary, 1972 - 9 Variables

    This article uses factor analysis to identify the key variables underlying the many cross-cultural associations reported by Textor (1967). Twelve factors are identified.
