Abstract

RECENT STUDIES HAVE INDICATED THAT PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT BIRTH ORDERS DISPLAY RECOGNIZABLY DIFFERENT SOCIAL BEHAVIORS. ORDINAL POSITION, HOWEVER, IS NOT A PSYCHOLOGICALLY MEANINGFUL CONCEPT. IT REMAINED TO BE SHOWN THAT THESE REPORTED DIFFERENCES COULD BE SUBSUMED UNDER A PSYCHOLOGICALLY MEANINGFUL FRAME OF REFERENCE-AND THE ORIGINS OF THESE BEHAVIORS SPECIFIED. IN AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MOTHER-CHILD INTERACTION IT WAS FOUND THAT 1ST BORN CHILDREN WERE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEPENDENT THAN LATER BORN, AND THAT MOTHERS WITH THEIR 1ST BORN WERE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE INTERFERING, EXTREME, AND INCONSISTENT THAN MOTHERS WITH THEIR LATER BORN.
