Birth Order and Self-Esteem

Paper Summary:

Sibling birth order has been credited for how we live our childhood, how we develop as adults, how various things impact us, including parental alcohol and drug abuse, and how much money we will make in a lifetime. This paper presents a research proposal about sibling birth order and how it impacts the development of self-esteem. The proposal explains the importance of understanding the issue, some of the literature that has already been published in the area, and a suggested methodology for conducting the study. The paper also provides a proposed outcome.

From the Paper:

"If birth order does have something to do with self esteem development, future work can be done on how to circumvent any negative birth order issues in the self esteem arena. For example, if research determines that being born last sets the stage for the development of poor self esteem issues because of being largely ignored because of the needs of the other siblings, training and education can be provided to parents to be sure to combat that possibility."
