This study tests a set of hypotheses regarding the relationship of varia tions in the division of labor by sex and the patterning of other gender- based phenomena across cultures. The sexual division of labor is found to be significantly associated with attitudes towards sex, customs for arrang ing marriages, male sex-typed behavior, and aggression training for boys. The division of labor is not related to the relative status of men and wom en or to the actual incidence of sexual behavior. The study also comments on the alternative ways in which cause-effect relationships among these variables can be conceptualized
