Favoritism.

Bank, Stephen P.

Journal of Children in Contemporary Society, v19 n3-4 p77-89 Spr 1987

The following factors are required for the development of favoritism: (1) a parent with an emotionally traumatic childhood; (2) a child with an unusual or stressful conception or birth; (3) the investment of a child's actions with "good" or "bad" meanings; and (4) severe marital conflict. To be a favorite is a mixed blessing. (Author/BJV)
