- Abstract. This study was chosen in light of more general research work on the Christianization of Florida in the 16th and 18th centuries. This topic arose as a separate necessary study since when compiling the chronology of Christianization and the Foundation of settlements, there were revolts of local residents. When finding the causes of these uprisings, matching and recurring events were identified. To recognize them, we studied the cause-and-effect relationships in the history of communications between Spaniards and natives. We compared primary sources, translations of primary sources from various Spanish documents, took recent archaeological finds and research, reviewed data on the nature of the uprisings, the work of researchers, compared the facts and process of describing events during Christianization. To complete this work, it was necessary to find the kinship and the root cause that gave rise to the conditions for the uprising. We decided to step over the theory of class struggle and apply the search for the cause of revolts in interpersonal relations (social psychology), studying the chronology of witnesses of that time. The author uses the "gender factor", i.e. the relationship between "men and women", as a new concept when considering the processes of revolts of indigenous peoples and introduces a new term "expectation formula", applied to the relations of union between local chiefs (caciques) and Spaniards. The "gender factor" is important as an increase or, conversely, as a decrease in the "expectation formula", at a low or zero value of which rebellion begin. At the same time, the "expectation formula" has a clear dependence on the size of the "ego" of local leaders, who assumed certain benefits for themselves and which can be seen in the formula of cause-and-effect relationships that lead to revolts against the Spanish crown. As a result, we came to the conclusion that socio-psychological and behavioral universal factors can explain both the acceptance and rejection of the union of aborigines with Europeans, without involving the study of the "theory of class struggle". When the "expectation formula" was lowered or dropped, the union broke up, and this led to a revolt of the natives in the Spanish dominions.
