Psychological Birth

Psychological birth order is examined as a predictor of irrational relationship beliefs among Turkish people (N = 423) using a Turkish version (Kalkan, 2005) of the White- Campbell Psychological Birth Order Inventory (Campbell, White, & Stewart, 1991) and the Relationship Belief Inventory (Kalkan, 2006). Results of Pearson correlation analysis indicate that positions of psychologically first, middle, and youngest child were significantly related to irrational relationship beliefs. The correlation between psychologically only child scores and irrational relationship beliefs was nonsignificant.

The Relationship

This study focused on the relationship between birth order, sex, and levels of adjustment of 120 male and 233 female adult college students (primarily graduate students). Subjects were approached in classes and asked to complete the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a personal data questionnaire. They were assigned to one of the three groups on the basis of their scores on the Neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory. A significant relationship between sex and ordinal position was found. Onlyborn males and firstborn females were overrepresented in the high neurotic group. In this same group, firstborn males and middle females were underrepresented. The distribution by sex and ordinal position in the average and low neuroticism groups was not different from chance. The present study supports the concept that there are birth-order differences with respect to sex and neuroticism.
