The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | This study used a questionnaire designed to identify Adlerian birth order characteristics in twins. One hundred and ninety (n = 190) mothers of twins completed surveys requesting general demographic information as well as descriptive accounts of each sibling within the family constellation. An adjective checklist of birth order descriptors was completed for each twin. The resulting data were statistically analyzed using Friedman and Nemenyi's tests to compare the number of characteristics associated with birth order categories for each ordinal position. Results seemed to indicate that twins display Adlerian birth order characteristics indicative of their ordinal placement though this was not the case for every position. The largest number of characteristics for three out of five ordinal positions were those of "youngest." In contrast, twins uniformly scored lowest on "middle" characteristics. | |
