  1. The presence of men dancing in nuptial rituals is less frequent in stratified polygynous societies than in non-stratified polygynous societies.Pecka, Daniel - Functions of dance in nuptial rituals: test on ethnographic data, an evoluti..., 2023 - 2 Variables

    This thesis follows an evolutionary approach to explore the role of dancing in nuptial rituals across cultures. The overarching hypothesis is that dancing will play a role in courtship. To test this, the author suggests four hypotheses related to the presence of men and women dancing in nuptial rituals. None of these hypotheses were supported by the societies analyzed from eHRAF. This thesis concludes that dancing in nuptial rituals might play different purposes and that further research must be conducted to test other roles such as social bonding or cooperation effects.

  5. 12) Reincarnation beliefs are negatively associated with societies under the influence of Christianity or Islam for more than 50 years.Matlock, James Graham - A cross-cultural study of reincarnation ideologies and their social correlates, 1993 - 2 Variables

    This dissertation discusses the divided theoretical approach to how reincarnation, animism, spirits, and general religious beliefs occur within societies cross-culturally. Matlock offers evidence to support Tyler, contradicting the generally accepted Durkheimian approach, arguing that the belief about souls and spirits may originate in dreams and other empirical experiences, in turn informing and shaping social organization. Durkheim argued the opposite, claiming that religious beliefs reflect social organization such as the clan and kinship. The author states 33 quantitative hypotheses to be tested using 30 of the first 60 sample societies available in the HRAF Probability Sample.
