The Relationship of Sibling Structure to Intellectual Abilities and Achievement.
Cicirelli, Victor G.
Review of Educational Research, v48 n3 p365-79 Sum 1978, 78
Research on sibling influence on intellectual ability has shown that academic ability and achievement decrease as family size increases and as spacing between siblings decreases. Research also suggests a relationship between sex of subject and of sibling, and age differences in the effects of birth order and sibling sex. (JAC)
