Associated Hypotheses (45)

Main AuthorHypothesis
Ember, Melvin"In sum, the results of this study clearly show that economic and political development are functionally related in nonindustrialized societies" (240)
Ember, Melvin"If we plot the distribution of these scores, we find that the relationship between the two variables [economic and political development] is not linear. Rather, the relationship curves increasingly upward" (243-244)
Pryor, Frederic L.The use of money will be positively associated with level of economic development (398).
Hobhouse, L. T."We have then clear evidence of an advance in organised government accompanying economic development"(51)
Hobhouse, L. T."[There is a] decline in the proportion of cases of 'government slight or nil' and a rise in the proportion of cases where 'tribal government' is found as we ascend the economic grades" (52)
Hobhouse, L. T."There is . . . [an] advance in the public enforcement of justice [as opposed to retaliation or private justice] as we ascend the scale [of economic development]" (61, 75)
Hobhouse, L. T."Among the [lower economic types] the number of cases in which tribal offenses alone are publicly punished is overwhelmingly greater than the number in which private offenses alone are so punished, while in the higher [economic] grades the relation is reversed" (79)
Hobhouse, L. T."Broadly, if we omit the intermixed cases, we see that the maternal principle [residence and descent] predominates among the hunting peoples, the paternal in the pastoral stage, while among agricultural peoples the two are neatly balanced" (153)
Hobhouse, L. T."Thus the evidence does not make for the association of monogamy with the lowest [economic] culture . . . we find it here and there in every grade of culture . . . polygamy is the rule throughout the uncivilised world, extending with industrial development" (162-163)
Hobhouse, L. T.Consideration given for the bride as a basis of marriage and particularly outright purchase increases markedly with the advance of economic culture (155)
Hobhouse, L. T.Bride's consent to marriage has a curvilinear relationship to economic development. Consent not required falls from the Lower to Higher Hunters, rises in Middle Agriculture and falls again with Agriculture. It rises sharply for pastoral peoples (158)
Hobhouse, L. T.Divorce, whether by will of either party, consent of both, or subject to bride price adjustments, is unrelated to economic development (165)
Hobhouse, L. T.The figures show a regular increase of public control of marriage and public punishment for adultery with advancing economic development (166)
Hobhouse, L. T."[There is] a fairly constant tendency to a greater chastity [with increased economic development]" (169)
Hobhouse, L. T."the practice of killing all or some of the vanquished [in war] predominates and is nearly constant until we reach the highest agricultural stage, where it drops by nearly 50% . . . this is the reverse side of the equally sudden rise in the practice of enslavement" (233)
Hobhouse, L. T."The increase [in serfs or slaves] is quite uniform from [economic] grade to grade" (236)
Hobhouse, L. T."[There is] a rise [of nobility] in the higher cultures and also a slightly greater tendency to distinction of rank among the Pastoral than among the Agricultural peoples" (236)
Hobhouse, L. T."The communal principle predominates in the lower stages of culture and retains a small preponderance among the pastoral peoples and that private ownership tends to increase in the higher Agricultural stages" (253)
Hobhouse, L. T."The position of women is unfavorable at all stages [of economic development--from hunters to pastoralists and agriculturalists]" (173)
Frederic L. PryorInstitutions of property and distribution among foragers will be associated with economic development in varying ways (41).
Frederic L. PryorForaging groups with lower levels of economic development (Classic and transitional foragers) can be identified with certain property and distribution characteristics (42).
Frederic L. PryorForaging groups with middling levels of economic development (Human-Wealth-Oriented and Intangible-Wealth-Oriented societies) can be identified by certain property and distribution characteristics.
Frederic L. PryorForaging societies with high levels of economic development (Politically-Oriented and Physical-Wealth-Oriented societies) can be identified by certain property and distribution characteristics (44).
Pryor, Frederic L.The presence of internal market exchange is directly related to the level of economic development (130).
Pryor, Frederic L.External trade is strongly related to the level of economic development (130).
Pryor, Frederic L.The market for goods tends to occur at the lowest levels of economic development (148).
Pryor, Frederic L.The markets for labor and for credit emerge at roughly the same higher levels of economic development (148).
Pryor, Frederic L.The markets for land and land rental occur only at higher levels of development (148).
Pryor, Frederic L.At the very lowest levels of development, societies have relatively little market exchange and, in addition, usually lack all types of money (182).
Pryor, Frederic L.At higher stages of development, money used for noncommercial payments appears before money used for commercial purposes.
Pryor, Frederic L.External commercial moneys appear at lower economic levels than internal commercial moneys (172).
Pryor, Frederic L.Reciprocal exchange of labor is more likely to occur at societies at low levels of economic development (215).
Pryor, Frederic L.Reciprocal exchange of labor can be found in societies at much higher levels of economic development than the reciprocal exchange of goods (216).
Pryor, Frederic L.The emergence of slavery is an inevitable stage of societal development (222).
Pryor, Frederic L.Extrasocietal slavery occurs at lower levels of economic development than intrasocietal slavery (247).
Pryor, Frederic L.Noncentric transfers of goods appear more frequently in societies at the lower end of the development scale (276).
Pryor, Frederic L.The presence of centric transfers is related to high levels of economic development (304).
Pryor, Frederic L.The major determinants of centric transfers of labor are the level of economic development and the size of the units of observation in the society (305).
Barber, NigelEconomic development will be associated with less religiosity.
Barber, NigelEconomic development will tend to be associated with more disbelief in God.
Woodley, Michael A.Consanguinity is a significant predictor of the level of democracy present when controlled for economic development.
Davis, Lewis As individual responsibility increases, the economic development of a country will increase.
