Empathy and Birth Order
Keyword(s):
The Mean
◽
Previous conflicting results have been found in studying the relation between empathy and birth order. 194 school students aged 9 to 12 yr. completed an adapted version of the Mehrabian and Epstein scale of emotional empathy. The social background data including birth order were gathered during home interviews. The mean differences in empathy for ordinal positions were not statistically significant, although the difference between third- and fourth-borns approached significance. It appears that middle-born children seem more prone to empathize than firstborns.
