In a cross-cultural study of correlates of crimes in 44 non-literate societies (a people or culture without a written language), monogamous societies had substantially lower rates of theft (r = -.58) and personal crime (r = -.44) than polygynous ones.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1037/h0042395</ref> | In a cross-cultural study of correlates of crimes in 44 non-literate societies (a people or culture without a written language), monogamous societies had substantially lower rates of theft (r = -.58) and personal crime (r = -.44) than polygynous ones.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1037/h0042395</ref> | ||
Seffrin (2016) analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health (Add Health) which indicates men who transition to a monogamous, or less competitive, mode of sexual behavior reduce their risk of violence | Seffrin (2016) analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health (Add Health) which indicates men who transition to a monogamous, or less competitive, mode of sexual behavior reduce their risk of violence. Changes in sexual behavior were shown to be more consistent and stronger in predicting violence than marriage and employment.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1080/07418825.2016.1216153</ref> Some of this effect may be due to decreased testosterone.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0018506X03001259</ref> But it may also come from a reduced need to compete for women. In fact competition over women is cross-culturally the second most common reason for death.<ref>https://www.academia.edu/7043107/Sociobiology_of_Lethal_Violence_in_Small-Scale_Societies</ref> The pattern may also in part stem from the very extreme of aggressive men being less capable of forming stable bonds. In primitive cultures, impressing and pleasing women is commonly an incentive for men to engage in raids.<ref>https://muse.jhu.edu/book/7089</ref> | ||
Polygynous societies have costlier, more dysphoric [unpleasant, violent] male rituals and rites of passage.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513807000244</ref> | Polygynous societies have costlier, more dysphoric [unpleasant, violent] male rituals and rites of passage likely due to the greater competitiveness of the loose sexual bonds.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513807000244</ref> | ||
Evolutionary psychology suggests most intergroup conflicts were caused by the relative availability of fertile women. An undersupply of women e.g. due to excessive polygamy, increases the chances of civil wars.<ref>http://faculty.washington.edu/hechter/KanazawaPaper.pdf</ref> | Evolutionary psychology suggests most intergroup conflicts were caused by the relative availability of fertile women.

{{quote|Men who show a willingness to take risks, have a high self-esteem, and a body that is physically imposing possess qualities that women may find desirable, but these qualities are also correlated with aggressive behavior (Apicella, 2014; Baumeister, Smart, & Boden, 1996; Brewer & Howarth, 2012; Frederick & Haselton, 2007; Sellet al., 2009).}} | {{quote|Men who show a willingness to take risks, have a high self-esteem, and a body that is physically imposing possess qualities that women may find desirable, but these qualities are also correlated with aggressive behavior (Apicella, 2014; Baumeister, Smart, & Boden, 1996; Brewer & Howarth, 2012; Frederick & Haselton, 2007; Sellet al., 2009).}} | ||
