Birth Order: Does it Really Matter?

A huge new study suggests that birth order might slightly influence personality, specifically regarding cooperation.

Researchers found that middle children tend to score higher on tests measuring agreeableness and cooperation compared to their siblings.

Interestingly, larger family sizes also correlated with higher scores on these cooperative personality traits.

While individual differences remain significant, this study provides evidence for a subtle yet noteworthy effect of birth order on social behavior.
