Description
Under the direction of Dr. Seunghee Han
Birth order is considered an integral part of children's personality development. When looking at birth order, the eldest and only children tend to be affected more by others' expectations (Prime et al., 2017). This leads to the hypothesis that the eldest and only children will be affected by compliance tendencies more often as well. However, there is limited research investigating this topic, especially with early elementary-age children. The present study examines the relation between birth order and compliance in early elementary-age children (first to third grade). This research offers a significance to future research in examining six to nine year old's compliance tendencies within the lens of birth order. As a pilot study, 8-12 children will be recruited. Children's behaviors will be observed while they are doing the Clean-up Toys Task in the lab (Kochanska & Kim, 2013). Parents and children will also be interviewed to know their personality and compliance at home.
