Description
Under the direction of Dr. Seung-Hee Han
Previous research has found that children's higher compliance is associated with later positive developmental outcomes such as less socio-emotional problems. Birth order differences are often considered a related factor in compliance development (van Berkel et al., 2023.) To determine the effect of birth order, we conducted a pilot study by recruiting nine early elementary school-aged children. Before observation, parents were sent online surveys to understand demographics and gauge children’s personality. Children’s behaviors were observed while doing the Clean-up Toys Task in the lab (Kochanska & Kim, 2013). Parents and children were interviewed individually to gauge their personalities and compliance at home. Our results have shown no relation between birth order and compliance tendency.
