Hypotheses
- Human group fissions primarily occur as a result of internal political conflict and secondarily as a result of resource scarcity (471).Walker, Robert S. - Causes, consequences, and kin bias of human group fissions, 2014 - 3 Variables
This study examines instances of group fission cross-culturally. Results suggest that internal political conflict and resource scarcity are the two most common causes of group fission. Results also suggest that group fission tends to occur along kin lines.

Authors hypothesize that grammatical sex gender may be related to social structural variables. Results support this hypothesis and suggest that the degree of sex bias in the social structure is associated with the relative frequency of masculine and feminine nouns in languages with sex gender.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - There will be an inverse relationship between parents' levels of expressive activity. In other words, as the mother's involvement in childcare increases, the father's involvement will decrease proportionately, and vice versa (467).Crano, Joel - A cross-cultural study of expressive and instrumental role complementarity i..., 1978 - 2 Variables
This study tests the claim that male and female investment in the socioemotional and economic aspects of family life are inversely related. Results suggest that this hypothesis is not supported, although a significant inverse relationship between male and female infant care does exist.

This article explores the relationship between marital residence and romantic love; results suggest that romantic love is most important in societies with non-neolocal marital residence. The author explores potential functions of romantic love, including bolstering against the divisive pressure of relatives, or to substitute for economic interdependence between spouses.

(2)Ellsworth, Ryan M. - Comparative study of reproductive skew and pair-bond stability using genealo..., 2015 - 2 Variables
Authors use genealogical data to investigate pair bond stability and reproductive skew across a sample of 80 small-scale societies. Results suggest that male reproductive skew and pair-bond stability are independent sources of cross-cultural variation in human mating patterns.
