Resumo

This is the fourth study of archival data in a program of cross- cultural research to identify the social institutions and behavioral norms that correlate with the practice of private ownership. Zelman's 1974 dissertation presented data on 145 variables for each of 60 societies. From these data, a composite measure of private ownership of productive land and of domestic animals correlated (p = .00125) with 22 variables or indices. Cultural characteristics and societal institutions replicating positive correlations with pri vate ownership in all four studies to date include: (a) 12 subsistence variables on grain agriculture and husbandry, (b) 9 stratification and gender role variables on classes, slavery, and work specializa tion, (c) 10 social control variables on political structure, law, and religious morality, (d) 8 community and architecture variables on populous settlements of substantial houses, (e) 7 marriage and family variables on patriarchal practices, and (f) 9 economic rela tions variables on commerce, money, war, and inheritance.
