Summer picks: what does the science say about birth order and personality?

Dr. Julia Rohrer, a personality psychologist from the University of Leipzig, dives into the science behind birth order and its effects on personality. She unpacks the familiar stereotypes of siblings, revealing that firstborns may lean toward leadership roles while younger siblings often find their niche in creative fields. The discussion also touches on how sibling dynamics, influenced by gender, can shape personal choices and careers. Ultimately, Rohrer emphasizes that while birth order can play a role, individual experiences vary widely.
