In an anthropological study, Gardner Lindzey,a social psychologist trained in behavior genetics claimed that the taboo for incest is enforced across all cultures. Cultures place taboos to restrain behaviors that many people feel compelled to do.  Another cross-cultural study by anthropologist  Allen W. Johnson and psychiatrist Douglas Price-Williams on folktales suggested that the classical  version of the Oedipus Complex that occurs in boys is present ( with the sexual and aggressive Oedipal sentiments less repressed cultures without class separation).[1]
