Food Resource Periodicity and Cooperation Values: A Cross-Cultural ConsiderationUniversity of Rhode Island This article deals with the relationship of maintenance systems and socialization values cross-culturally. A theoretical discussion of the hypothesis that periodicity in food resource production relates to socialization for cooperation is presented. Drawing on two separate random samples from the HRAF Probability Sample Files, the hypothesis is tested and found to be strongly supported. The findings are discussed in terms of how they appear to answer a question raised by Margaret Mead some 57 years ago, concerning why some cultures stress cooperation and others do not.
