New Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Marriage Transactions
This article refines and extends previous cross-cultural research on marriage transactions (e.g., bride wealth, dowry). The authors begin by expanding the standard cross-cultural typology of marriage transactions. They identify six additional kinds of transactions (e.g., groom wealth, groom service) and show that many societies of the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) probability sample have two or more types of transactions. Next, the authors ta…
Evolutionary Theory, Kinship, and Childbirth in Cross-Cultural Perspective
The authors combine evolutionary theory with the anthropological study of kinship to account for cross-cultural diversity in birth-related investments by kin. Four hypotheses are formulated using paternal certainty, gender, and kinship laterality as independent variables. They test these hypotheses with data from the 60-culture Probability Sample of the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF). Their hypotheses are generally confirmed. For example, gran…
Dependency, Techno-Economic Heritage, Disarticulation, and Social Development in Less Developed Nations
This analysis investigates the proposition that disarticulation explains the effects of dependency and techno-economic heritage on social development. The results show that disarticulation does not act as a major intervening or mediating structure between dependency and social development, nor does it account for the effects of techno-economic heritage on social development. Disarticulation is found to have a modest curvilinear effect on social d…
Economic Disarticulation and Social Development in Less-Developed Nations: A Cross-National Study of Intervening Structures
This study investigates the thesis that disarticulated economic structures explain the effects of economic dependency, especially foreign investment, on social development. The research incorporates alternative conceptions and measures of economic dependency and examines the net effects of these alternative measures on (a) disarticulation and (b) social development net of disarticulation and level of economic development. Using cross-national dat…
