Birth Order, Family Configuration and Personal Problems.

Abstract

Significant birth order effects were found in a sample of applicants to West Point with respect to the frequency with which they reported having various personal problems. Perhaps the most significant results of the study is the fact that, although oldest boys are attracted to institutions such as the U.S. Military Academy in greater proportionate numbers than others, there is no evidence that they perform better than those from other birth-order groups.
