This book provides a careful examination of the possible influence
of birth order on political achievement and behavior. The authors
look at American presidents, Supreme Court justices, United States
senators and representatives, and the careers of an entire West
Point class. For a comparative dimension, they also study British
Prime Ministers, U.N. Secretaries General, post-Renaissance popes,
leaders of the U.S.S.R., and great generals through the ages. What
the authors find is that there is no measurable relationship
between birth order (and being first born) and political
achievement and behavior. These findings cast considerable doubt on
the long standing belief that birth order has an important impact
on either achievement or behavior. The authors clarify that very
few studies suggesting such a relationship do not stand up under
careful scrutiny. This basic conclusion and other curious findings
from the study make Birth Order And Political Behavior insightful
reading for almost any behavioral scientist. The book will also be
relevant to courses in child development, clinical psychology,
psychiatry, political science, anthropology, and sociology.
