Abstract:

Historically, research in the field of birth order yielded inconsistent and at times contro-versial results. Researchers have long been interested in the impact of birth order on both social and cognitive development, in part due to the research of Adler. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if psychological birth order directly impacts stu-dent achievement and motivation. The resource dilution theory and confluence model were used to investigate the relationship between sibling perception of family roles within familial settings and academic performance and motivation withi

Abstract:

This study investigated the relationship between birth order position and the two-dimensional leadership styles, initiating structure and consideration, in elementary public school administrators in the State of Arizona in correlation with Alfred Adler's (1930) Theory of Birth Order. Adler asserted: (1) that first borns acquire leadership traits emphasizing rules, authority, power, independence, traditions, organization, and a concern with status and (2) later borns acquire leadership traits emphasizing social activities, a sense of community, and warmth in individual and group cooperation, th

Abstract:

Birth order effects have been the subject of considerable research in the developmental literature. One aim of the present investigation was to explore links between temperament and birth order. Temperament should be linked to birth order. Because infant temperament is related to maternal stress during pregnancy (Huizink et al, 2002), and because mothers caring for children while pregnant presumably experience more stress, laterborn children could have different temperamental profiles than earlier-born children. Research has also shown reliable links between birth order and vocabulary size in

Abstract:

Previous research has shown temperament to be stable throughout development and this effect remains when controlling for infant birth order. However, to our knowledge, there have been no investigations examining the direct relationship between temperament characteristics and birth order within the family. Because infant temperament has been shown to be related to maternal stress during pregnancy it stands to reason that mothers caring for multiple children while pregnant will experience more stress, and thus affect the temperament of their gestating offspring. Therefore, the first aim of the p

<p> Homicides linked to serial killers comprise a small percentage of the total number of murders committed in the United States, as well as overseas; however, there has always been an immense interest in these type of killings due to the mysterious nature of their perpetrators and their motives for killing. This small percentage could be due to the decreased incidence of the mental illnesses usually associated with serial killers (i.e., Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy), and advances in police investigative methods such as DNA matching that have resulted in a higher rate of sol

ABSTRACT THE RELATIONSHIP OF LIFESTYLE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL BIRTH ORDER WITH CAREER DECISION SELF-EFFICACY by Ronald M.
