Birth Order and Activity Level in Children.
Eaton, Warren O.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v25 n4 p668-72 Jul 1989
Studied 7,018 children between birth and 7 years and 81 children of 5-8 years to test the hypothesis that birth order is negatively related to motor activity level. Activity level declined linearly across birth position, so that early-borns were rated as more active than later-borns. (RJC)
