A new study by researchers from MIT and Northwestern University reveals that second-born children, especially boys, are more likely to be rebellious and get into legal trouble compared to their older siblings.
The researchers suggest that this behavior might be due to less parental supervision for younger children. Parents often pay more attention to their firstborn, which means the younger siblings may face fewer rules and restrictions, leading to more risky actions.
The study also shows that birth order plays a key role in shaping personality. First-borns often grow up to be leaders, while second-born children tend to challenge authority and rules more often.
