I wish to thank the following persons for reading a draft of this paper and offering helpful suggestions and criticisms: Herbert Barry III, Irvin L. Child, Clyde Kluckhohn, George P. Murdock, David Riesman, and John Whiting. This paper is a revision of a paper presented at the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association in Mexico City, December, 1959. I also wish to thank a number of people who made verbal comments at that time, some of which I hope I have heeded, even while lacking adequate notes to give them credit. Barry deserves special thanks for making his findings available to me.
