Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

A good answer will be similar to the following:
Parents tend to treat firstborns differently than laterborns.Parents tend to have higher expectations for firstborns and are both more affectionate and more punitive with them.Firstborns,possibly because of these differences in parental treatment,usually have higher scores on intelligence tests and are more likely to go to college than laterborns.They also are more willing to conform to parents' and adults' requests.
Parents tend to have more realistic expectations and are more relaxed in their discipline with laterborns.Laterborn children are less concerned about pleasing parents and adults but need to get along with older siblings.Laterborns tend to be more popular with their peers and are more innovative.
