Birth order was investigated to determine its interrelationship with other personality variables in questionnaire form: trait anxiety, locus of control, and need for achievement in a special sample of 20 national calibre Olympic weight lifters. More were firstborn (65%) than later born (35%). One-way analysis of variance showed that later-born lifters were significantly more internal than firstborn lifters in their locus of control beliefs. Firstborn lifters demonstrated a significantly greater need for achievement. All weight lifters, whether firstborns or later borns, scored relatively low on trait anxiety. The results were discussed in support of the trait approach as viable in research on personality for sport psychologists when relevant traits or states are studied according to specific task demands of sports.

The article is devoted to the analysis of fertility indicators in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Along with the total fertility rate for all births, the author traces the dynamics of birth order-specific fertility rates, as well as actual cohort fertility rates estimated by 2010 All-Russian census data. Particular attention is paid to the differences between these indicators in urban districts and municipal areas of the region. When considering the possible relationship of fertility indicators with the implementation of regional measures of demographic policy, special attention is paid to third and subsequent births, the level and dynamics of which can be influenced by the amount of regional maternal (family) capital, which is larger in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug than in other federal subjects of Russia. The results of the analysis show that the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug is among regions with a relatively high level and a young model of fertility. To a greater extent, this manifests itself in the second, third and subsequent births.
