A Cross-cultural Test of Collins's Theory of Sexual Stratification.

Johnson, G. David; Hendrix, Lewellyn

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v44 n3 p675-84 Aug 1982

Presents a multivariate model for explaining cross-cultural variation in sexual stratification as implied in Collins's theory. Tested the model with subsample of societies (N=74) from the standard cross-cultural sample. Results were inconsistent with Collins's theory. Kinship and family variables were better predictors than economic and political variables. (Author)
