Female Puberty Rites: Reconsideration and Speculation.

Kitahara, Michio

Adolescence, v18 n72 p957-64 Win 1983

Used the odd-numbered Murdock-White Standard Cross Cultural Sample to test Brown's (1963) three hypotheses on female puberty rites. Found that only matrilocal/ambilocal residence was significantly associated with female puberty rites and suggests female physiology as a better predictor. (Author/JAC)
