  1. High population density will be positively associated with pathological behavior in humans (i.e. homicide, suicide, drunken brawling, male insobriety, witchcraft attribution, and divorce) (743).Levinson, David - Population density in cross-cultural perspective, 1979 - 2 Variables

    This article investigates how population density affects social behavior, particularly whether it is a cause of stress in humans that manifests in pathological behavior or mistreatment of children. Analysis indicates that population density is not a cause of these behaviors, and with some variables (such as with divorce and sexual anxiety), there is a negative association with population density.

  2. OCM subjects identified with "conflict" can be grouped into four aspects of conflict: economic conflicts, sociocultural/interpersonal conflicts, legal/judicial conflicts, and political conflicts.Lundy, Brandon D. - The Effectiveness of Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies in Localized ..., 2022 - 1 Variables

    This paper seeks to understand how the conflict resolution strategies of indigenous and non-indigenous groups differ in their efficacy. The authors suggest that indigenous methods of conflict resolution are more effective than non-indigenous methods by demonstrating that subjects from the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) associated with indigenous conflict management (ICM) will co-occur less frequently with OCM terms related to conflict than subjects related to non-ICM. They tested this by selecting OCM subjects that they felt best represented ICM, non-ICM, and instances of conflict and using chi-square tests to show how often these subjects co-occurred. They subsequently split up the "conflict" variable into four forms of conflict in order to show whether any of these forms might be more frequently found associated with ICM or non-ICM subjects. The results showed that conflict subjects were more likely to co-occur with non-ICM subjects, and that sociocultural/interpersonal conflicts were more likely to be associated with ICM subjects, whereas political conflicts were more likely to be associated with non-ICM subjects.

  3. The development of technology will be positively associatedwith increasing frequencies of external war, civil war, and riots (but feuding war will decrease as technology develops in society) (53)Leavitt, Gregory C. - The frequency of warfare: an evolutionary perspective, 1977 - 5 Variables

    Thi study tests a hypothesis on the relationship between frequency of warfare and sociocultural development.

  6. The frequency of rape and wife beating are correlated with warfare (2).Stone, Emily A. - A Test of an Evolutionary Hypothesis of Violence Against Women: The Case of ..., 2017 - 3 Variables

    This study investigates variation in rates of violence against women, primarily interested in two main hypotheses: the Culture of Violence Hypothesis and the Functional Violence Hypothesis. Using the SCCS along with variables from Broude & Greene (1976) and Ember & Ember (1992), the study concluded that warring societies were associated with a greater intolerance of rape, contradicting the Culture of Violence Hypothesis, whereas wife beating, as well as tolerance towards rape, increased with scarcity of women, in line with the evolutionary Functional Violence Hypothesis.

  7. The increasing frequency of differentiation in societies will be positively associated with an increase in external war, civil war, and riots (feuding will decrease in frequency as societies become increasingly differentiated) (54)Leavitt, Gregory C. - The frequency of warfare: an evolutionary perspective, 1977 - 5 Variables

    Thi study tests a hypothesis on the relationship between frequency of warfare and sociocultural development.

  8. Societal complexity will not be related to wife beating (115).Erchak, Gerald M. - Societal isolation, violent norms, and gender relations: a reexamination and..., 1994 - 2 Variables

    This article is a re-examination of Levinson's 1989 model of wife beating. Associations between social complexity, cultural support for violence, women's status, and wife beating are tested.

  9. Wife beating will be predicted by a variety of socio-economic variables.Campbell, Jacquelyn C. - Beating of wives: a cross-cultural perspective, 1985 - 1 Variables

    This article presents a preliminary cross-cultural analysis of wifebeating. The author examines the relationships between wifebeating and various socio-economic variables and finds potential relationships between father absence, general acceptance of violence and wifebeating.

  10. Sexual frustration will be positively associated with warfare frequency (13).Ember, Melvin - Fear of disasters as an engine of history: resource crises, warfare, and int..., 1988 - 2 Variables

    This study examines some of the environmental and psychological predictors of warfare frequency and interpersonal aggression. Results suggest that socialization for aggression in boys is the most significant predictor of warfare. However, authors suggest that socialization for aggression may be a consequence, rather than a cause, of war.
