Peer reviewedNash, Sharon Churnin; Feldman, S. Shirley – Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, 1981
Middle-class children, divided by age, sex, and the presence/absence of younger siblings in the family, were studied to assess their interest in babies. The findings support MacDonald's contention that birth order effects are best understood as distinctive for each sex, especially when the behaviors investigated are sex-related. (Author/GC)
