... The natives show horror at the idea of 9)..................... the rules of exogamy and they believe that sores, diseases, even death 10) .............. follow clan incest.

Malinowski himself determined that although such breaches did occasionally occur, they were much less frequent 14) ................. gossip would have it. 15).................. Malinowski relied solely on 16)................... Trobrianders told him, his description of their culture 17) would ............................. inaccurate. The same sort of discrepancies between cultural ideals and 18)................. way people really do behave 19).............. be found in 20).................... culture.

To play it safe, data drawn in three different ways 24)...................... . First, the 25)........................ own understanding of the rules they share - that is, their notion of the way their society ought to be considered . Second the extent to 26)

....................... people believe they are observing those rules - that is, how they think they actually do behave. Third, the behaviour that can be directly observed should be considered - in the example of the Trobrianders, whether or not the rule of suvasova is actually violated. As we see here, the way people think they should behave, the way in which they think they do behave, and the way in which they actually behave 27) .......... be three distinctly different things. By 28) ......................... these elements, the anthropologist can draw up a set of rules that may explain the acceptable behaviour within a culture.
