Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: A study of first-born and second-born siblings, conducted over 3 years, found that the attitudes, personalities, and leisure activities of second-born children were influenced more by their older siblings than by their parents. Research on major league baseball players found that those who were younger brothers were 10 times more likely than older brothers to attempt the high-risk action of stealing bases during a game.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: A study of more than 240,000 male army recruits in Norway showed that older siblings scored higher on IQ tests than younger siblings. First-borns tend to be more suggestible and dependent on other people. They are anxious in stressful situations and have a higher need for social relationships (Schachter, 1963, 1964). These findings can be predicted from Adler's theory. First-born girls were found to be more obedient and socially responsible than later-borns and to feel closer to their parents.
