How your birth order influences your life adjustment?

Birth order can influence life adjustment in various ways. First-borns may be more responsible and achievement-oriented, while later-borns can be more rebellious and flexible. Middle children may seek attention or act as peacemakers. However, birth order is just one factor among many that shape individual personality and life outcomes.


Why are animals used as subject of experiments?

It depends on what kind of experiments you're talking about. Animal behavior experiments are generally done in order to understand why they behave the way they do, and by extension to help us understand why humans behave the way they do. Drug trials are done on animals first in order to see if the treatment is a) effective and b) safe. Each species has its own metabolic quirks, so a treatment that is safe and effective in animals MAY not be so in humans, but it's a way to identify treatments that are at least POTENTIALLY safe and effective for humans. Finally, some testing is done for teaching/training purposes. A school may have students experiment on, say, rats even though the expected results are known, in order to train the students how to perform experiments in which the results are NOT known. Plus rats, mice, dogs,primates and cats all get used for expiriments. You may think-ew mice, rats, who cares about them? BUT THEY HAVE A LIFE TO YOU KNOW AND THEY WANT TO LIVE IT!


How does birth order affect the psychological development of children?

For as many books as there are supporting the idea of birth order's impact on development (of which psychoanalysts are large proponents of), research tends to support the idea that birth order has no real affect.However, the strongest case for "birth order" is the idea of the "niche."Many psychologists believe that people try to fit into predetermined "niches" in a family: the athletic one, the artistic one, the intelligent one, the rebel, etc. When one niche is taken by a child, the subsequent child will take an alternative niche. This is why when the oldest child takes the "smart, athletic" niche, the youngest child will often take the rebel. The foundation of this idea is that each "niche" becomes a part of that person's "identity" - which is ultimately the goal of our long, childhood search.Different "niches" are favored in different families. A family full of football stars will probably favor athletic niches, and therefore these will be taken first. A family full of scientists will be more likely to favor academic pursuits, and so their children will fill each of these niches first.Of course, the theory of the niche isn't always correct, and although logical, there is not a lot of scientific evidence backing the theory. Many times, multiple siblings will hold the same niche, or the oldest sibling will take the path of the "rebel" - or a family full of football stars will have a son who is the leader of the chess club. :-)
