Identify an accurate statement in the context of the study conducted by Schachter (1963, 1964) on the first-borns and later-borns
a. First-borns tend to be lower in IQ than later-borns.
c. First-borns tend to be less obedient than later-borns.
b. First-borns tend to be more dependent on other people than later-borns.
d. All of these are correct.
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.
