Birth order and college misconduct.
نویسنده
چکیده
Although social researchers have been giving increasing attention to the effect of sibling position on personality formation and on subsequent behavior, in the past thirty years birth order as a factor in antisocial and problem behavior has been ignored. Yet earlier findings (3, 10, II, 13, 15) indicated that this relationship merited further study. Adler (I, pp. 376-382) held that first-borns are typically more conservative than later-born siblings, and that second-borns are likely to be rebellious and not to recognize power or authority. Research, although not specifically directed at this problem, tends to confirm Adler's view. First-born female college students were found by Kammeyer (9) to have a more traditional orientation toward the feminine role than later-born girls. From this he concluded that first-born girls are "conservators of the traditional culture." These findings are congruent with the results of several studies which have shown that first-born and only child persons are more dependent, more conforming, and more responsive to normative pressures than are later-borns (4, 5, 12, 14). On the other hand, Sletto (13) found the highest proportion of juvenile delinquents among second and third-born children. All this gave rise to the hypothesis that first-borns should be under-represented among female college students referred for misconduct, while second-borns should be over-represented. It was the purpose of the present study to test this hypothesis.
