Running Head: BIRTH ORDERS ROLE Birth Orders Role in Personality Scott Bakalor University of South Florida - Sarasota / Manatee The correlations between birth order and personality have intrigued many psychologists over time. Does being the first-born child in a family make them destined to be a selfish overachiever? Will an only child always have trouble associating with other children their age? If a person is the last-born child in a family, are they more likely to be highly rebellious and careless? Is the first-born child going to be inconsiderate, selfish, yet also be highly motivated? The distinguished psychiatrist Dr. Alfred Adler wrote much on the subject of birth order he discussed the idea that the position a child holds in the family leaves an ...

One's birth order affects a large number of things that include IQ, consumption of cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, depression and mental illness, and creativity. It is amazing to learn more about yourself and your siblings through the order in which they were all born.

There were no citations in the body of the essay although "studies" and "research" were cited and a great many solid assertions made without the requisite attributions. I have to ask "What studies are you referring to?" "What research are you drawing upon?" Who says that these things are proven? While there is a bibliography at the end this doesn't really fulfill the college level expectations for proper citation. This would be more of a high-school level paper. |
