Associated Hypotheses (8)

Main AuthorHypothesis
Peregrine, Peter N.Rushton predicts that there will be a relationship between race and several aspects of behavior (357).
Leavitt, Gregory C.Controlling for simple societies, incest taboo extension is negatively associated with military, transportation, and communication technology as well as economic differentiation, settlement size, and trade (116, 119, 124).
Leavitt, Gregory C.There will be positive associations between economic, familial, sexual, and religious ideologies and a variety of technological and social-structural variables (i.e. agricultural technology and economic differentiation) (525).
Baker, MatthewPresence of hierarchy is positively associated with technology, population density and storage (236).
Baker, MatthewControlling for technology and complexity, the predicted probability of a land market will have a negative impact on the likelihood that a fixed inheritance rule is observed (93).
Gouldner, Alvin W."Insofar as Apollonianism involves a stress on cognitive modes of experience and a hopeful melioristic view of the world we should expect it to correlate positively with [Factor] T (Technology)" (36)
Gouldner, Alvin W.The data are consistent with a hypothesis that, of all the factors (kinship, technology, Norm-Sending) technology is relatively the most important. (Varimax rotation shows technology extracts more variance than any other factor) (55)
Romanoff, Steven"Cassava will be more important where there are fewer food-getting strategies (less of a mix of subsistence strategies, wage labor, cash crops, government supplies, etc.); in turn food diversity will be positively associated with such cultural ecological variables as markets, access to markets, population density, and more elaborate technology" (p.101).
