Medium children are better than their siblings, the study suggests

Medium children rule.

This is according to a new study suggesting that the most suffering siblings grow to be “better” than their rivals – adding long debate whether or not the order can predict personality.

Austrian pioneer Albert Adler first displayed this concept at least a century ago – and professionals have fought for his ideas since then.

While science may still have to be resolved, stereotypes have long filled the gap – from the image of the persistent, intelligent to the “broken” label consumed by time, set for the youngest in a family.

No one gets it to the chin, perhaps more than the middle children, who also have the so -called “middle child’s syndrome” called according to them.

This is described by Webmd as “the idea that if you are neither the eldest child nor the youngest, you receive less attention from your parents and feel ‘caught in the middle’.

This is a good thing, according to Canadian study authors, Michael Ashton from Brock and Kibeom Lee University from the University of Calgary.

Middle children, they say, end up “more honest, humble and more pleasant than their brothers and sisters,” reads an analysis of academic work published by parents, asking themselves if it actually makes them ” best. “

The head shrinkage survey used a test known as Hexaco’s personality inventory, which examines six traits in humans – honesty, emotionality, extraversion, compliance, conscience and openness to experience.

When it came to honesty and honesty and compliance, the middle children marked the highest points.

This means that they can forgive the mistakes they suffered, are gentle in judging others, are ready to compromise and cooperate with others, and can easily control their patience, according to the test.

A high result in the category honesty, the test authors said, means that one person “will avoid manipulating others for personal benefits” and “be uninterested in wealth and abundant luxury and will not feel no special right to high social status. “

Middle children may have come to the highest class in both categories, but they were followed by the youngest of a family. The largest scored the lowest result on these two fronts. The only children also turned out badly.

According to parents, other recent studies seeking to find out whether the order of birth is related to the type of personality in conflict with the latest findings – the newspaper quoted a 2020 study that claims that one does not necessarily have to do with the other .

The only children, the authors of that paper said, were not guaranteed that they would be more narcissistic than their counterparts with many brothers and sisters, for example.

Famous medium children throughout history include Martin Luther King, Jr., Madonna, Warren Buffett and Abraham Lincoln.
