Hypotheses
- The presence of age-set systems will be negatively associated with political centralization (90).Ritter, Madeline Lattman - The conditions favoring age-set organization, 1980 - 2 Variables
This article reviews the theories on age-set systems and presents a cross-cultural test of Bernardi's theory regarding the development of age-sets as a response to a need for a system of integration in the context of frequent warfare. The findings do not support the hypothesis but rather point to the importance of changing group size and composition of local groups, as well as warfare, in predicting age-set systems.
