問題詳情
It has long been part of folk wisdom that birth order strongly affects personality. However, most of theresearch claiming that firstborns are radically different from other children has been 38 . It now seems that anyeffects of birth order on personality will likely be washed out by all the other influences in a person’s life. 39 ,the belief in the permanent impact of birth order, according to Toni Falbo, a social psychologist at the University ofTexas at Austin, “comes from the psychological theory that your personality is fixed by the time you are six. That40 simply is incorrect.”The better, later and larger studies are less likely to find birth order a useful predictor of anything. When twoSwiss social scientists, Cecile Ernst and Jules Angst, 41 1,500 studies a few years ago, they concluded that“birth-order differences in personality are nonexistent in our sample” and that “in particular, there is no evidencefor a ‘firstborn personality.’”
