    "Personality and birth order in large families."
    Apr 27 2021

    Textbooks make claims like:

    “Dixon [et al] studied 361 siblings belonging to large families and found that younger siblings were significantly more extraverted in terms of sociability compared to older siblings.”

    Should we believe them? I look at:

    Dixon, Reyes, Leppert, & Pappas (2008). Personality and birth order in large families. Personality and Individual Differences, 44(1), 119–128.
