  1. how to define new variables in Galaxy Cossci computing variables, making interaction items, merging items within a categorical variable to make a dummy variable. With these, students can detect more compli1cated relationships among independent variables.

  2. DpV V2018 Property: Importance of Private Ownership and Severity of Punishment for Theft v17： Money (Media of Exchange) and Credit v155：Scale 7- Money v234：Settlement Patterns v235：Mean Size of Local Communities v710: Social Stratification in the Local Community v727：Importance of Agriculture in Subsistence, including Gardening v773: (No) Internal Warfare (between Communities of Same Society) v95: Political Power- Third Most Important Source Entering Dependent, Independent and other variables in Galaxy Cossci

  4. Then: Find “Rmodel” in your *.csv file: prepare to delete v234, v727, and check “To Try” below which informs you to add v95 you can add to your model So your new model will have v155,v17,v235, v710 ,v773,v95. Now change your model. Then press and Click diskette lower left ->

  5. Your new model, when executed, happens to show that all these variables are significant but two of them are measures of money. Your instructor can run a crosstab: table(dx$v17,dx$v155). Now you’ll learn two tricks. If you put v155.d5 in dummy variables you will get a dichotomy 1234/5. For v17 however, you want to contrast 123/45 but that’s not a dichotomy. Instead you need to fill in the New Variable option. View the codebook for v17 versus v155 carefully to see why this makes sense. These are two important operations to learn. But we are no closer to understanding causes of private property in the Standard Sample, probably because only 79 cases are coded. Here is what I mean: it’s a contradiction in the results:

  6. To see the problem with this topic, I am going to state the hypothesis that these data represent colonialism rather than evolution of private property: where the currency is completely foreign (i.e., colonial), private property is less likely, and we’re more likely looking as smaller colonized communities.

  7. With this model we’re testing whether v17.d4 (dichotomized at value 4 versus 1235) as “Foreign Currency” tends to remove local private property along with (negative v235) plus a tendency of this removal to affect smaller communities (i.e., effects of colonialism). But bear in mind that 79/186 coded cases it’s a small subsample.
