Machismo Syndrome: A Residential Correlate Of Its Expression In A Mexican Peasant Community, J. M. Brueske
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The Michaelson Goldschmidt hypothesis states that in peasant societies wherein male dominance is an ideal, matrilocal residence tends to encourage the expression of the machismo syndrome of behaviors. Recent ethnographic research in a Mexican peasant community supports the hypothesis by the finding that interpersonal violence (one measure of machismo) during a fiesta was perpetrated in every extreme instance by men who were residing matrilocally. The hypothesis thus effectively predicts, in this case, matrilocality as the variable most closely associated with the violent dimension of machismo.

Cross-cultural study has suggested that the presence of an extradomestic market for women's produce is one precondition for the development of female solidarity groups, and that such groups seem to be antecedent to female public power and/or authority. If status is defined in these terms, then the Zapotec women of Asuncion, a village of the inland Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico, have not attained the preconditions of public power and/or authority. The complementary nature of husband and wife in the economic sphere assures women of some domestic power, however, and women do not seem to perceive their status as …

Population Profiles By Factor Analysis: Study Of A Rural Arkansas Community, Mary Jo Grinstead, Sandra Scholtz
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Factor analysis was used as a preliminary data analytic technique to delineate population profiles in a rural, poverty-level community. The technique was useful in defining the nature of sociological interdependencies in the population so that the heterogeneity in the community could be understood. Four factors identified as representing socio-economic status, age-work attitudes, morality, and participation dimensions were extracted from the correlation matrix.
