Ordinal Position, Approval Motivation, and Interpersonal Attraction
Nowicki, Stephen, Jr.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 36, 2, 265-267, Apr 71

Females tend to account for a significant share of birth-order effects. More particularly, firstborn females accounted for much of the differences in expressed attraction as well as need for social approval. (Author)
