Note. Data tabulated from Barry and Paxson (1971), Table 1, Column 13, based on the societies of Murdock and White’s (1969) Standard Cross- Cultural Sample. Infancy information was unavailable for 24 societies, and early childhood information was unavailable for 50 societies.

Average Percentage of Male Participation in Activities in Societies From the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample Note. Data are from Tables 1-5 of “Factors in the Division of Labor by Sex: A Cross-Cultural Analysis,” by G. P. Murdock and C. Provost, 1973, Ethnology, 12, pp. 207-210. Copyright 1973 by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Reprinted with permission. Each index represents the average percentage of male participation in each activity, as calculated by Murdock and Provost (1973) from 185 societies of the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample (Murdock & White, 1969). Each index was calculated for a given activity such that each society received a weight indicating whether the activity was exclusively male (1.0), predominantly male (0.8), equally performed by both sexes (0.5), predominantly female (0.2), or exclusively female (0). The weights were summed across societies in which the activity was performed and then divided by the number of societies. Murdock and Provost identified the four clusters of activities on the basis of this index and the variability in the index across geographic regions. The swing activities were more variable than the quasi-masculine or quasi-feminine activities, which were more variable than the strictly masculine ones. Table 1
