Abstract

In recent years research has been conducted to determine the effects of birth-order on a child. A child's sex, physical attributes, size of family, presence or absence of parents, and order of birth, all have effects on a child's development. Birth-order places a child into a special arrangement with the other members of the family. A child's birth-order in his family is both a structural and a processional variable (Albert, 1980). Family structure determines which family member will have the greatest effect on the child. As a process, birth order helps determine the length and intensity of family influences on the child.
