  • New Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Marriage Transactions

    Open AccessBrad R Huber, William F Danaher et al.ARTICLECross-Cultural Research2011References: 54

    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

    Open AccessBrad R Huber, William L BreedloveARTICLECross-Cultural Research2007Cited by: 9References: 35

    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…

  • Bonesetters and curers in a Mexican community

    Brad R Huber, Robert J Anderson et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology1996Cited by: 3References: 7

    In the indigenous Mexican village of Hueyapan, there is a clear contrast between the supernatural beliefs curers use to explain illness and the naturalistic assumptions made by this community's bonesetters. In addition to employing different conceptual models, the two types of healers differ with respect to their manner of recruitment, training, types of illnesses treated, social status, and gender. These differences add up to a seeming enigma: i…

  • Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom

    Open AccessJanet Ward Schofield, Debra Evans-Rhodes et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review1990Cited by: 1References: 1

    This study assessed the impact of utilization of an artificially intelligent geometry proof tutor on classroom social processes. Both teachers' and students' behaviors changed. Teachers devoted more time to their slower students, treated students in a more collegial fashion, and increased their emphasis on effort in grading students. Students showed a marked increase in task-related effort and involvement. This change appeared to be due to an inc…
