This project will expand the existing Standardized Cross Cultural Time Allocation Database (created under NSF award BNS 8419033) by three times, from 17 datasets to 50. The advantages of doing so are that previous work has made the addition of new datasets a relatively straightforward and inexpensive process; that a number of high quality datasets now exist or are being collected in new fieldwork, but can not be added to the database because current resources are not sufficient; and that a 50 dataset sample will allow superior hypothesis testing over a 17 set sample. Each new dataset will be published as a monograph, containing a user's guide, cednsus, cultural context summary, original data source codes, and standardized data codes. This research is important because it adds to a developing database of research on how primitive and peasant peoples spend their time. This will allow the development of theory through hypothesis testing on an improved sample of behaviors.

该项目将现有的标准化跨文化时间分配数据库（在NSF奖励BNS 8419033下创建）扩展三倍，从17个数据集扩展到50个。这样做的好处是，以前的工作已经使新数据集的添加成为一个相对简单和廉价的过程；一些高质量的数据集现在已经存在，或者正在新的实地工作中收集，但由于目前资源不足，无法添加到数据库中；50个数据集样本比17个数据集样本更适合进行假设检验。每个新数据集将作为专著出版，包含用户指南、cednsus、文化背景摘要、原始数据源代码和标准化数据代码。这项研究很重要，因为它增加了一个正在发展的数据库，研究原始人和农民如何度过他们的时间。这将允许通过对改进的行为样本进行假设检验来发展理论。
