In the Jeeter family, Jason is the oldest,his sister, Barbara, is the middle child, and Chloe is the ''baby''. Which statement about the Jeeters and their cildren is most likely to be accurate?

A the Jeeter parents were probably more strict with Barbara than with Jason.
B Jason will probably have low self-esteem than either Barbara or Chloe
C Barbara is more likely to have lower self-esteem than Jason
D Jason is likely to be more aggressive in seeking out attention than either Barbara or Chloe.

i believe the correct is C

Well, it is probably the best answer A, B, D are clearly wrong.

Here is a quote that is worth reading
<<The greater attention and encouragement from parents should contribute to first-borns' greater sense of worth and importance; and first-borns' typically greater power and competence compared with younger siblings should result in more favorable social comparisons. Research, however, provides only modest (and inconsistent) support for these expectations (Blake 1989). Oldest and only children do seem to have higher self-esteem than later-born children, but the differences are not significant. The effects of birth order may be suppressed or mitigated by the influence of several other features of the sibling system, such as sex composition of the sibling order, child spacing, family size, age and sex of target child, and age and sex of next oldest sibling. Without taking into account the effect of these other variables, the influence of birth order on self-esteem may largely disappear (Gecas and Pasley 1983).>>

To determine which statement is most likely to be accurate, let's analyze each option:

A) The Jeeter parents were probably more strict with Barbara than with Jason.
This statement cannot be inferred from the given information. The birth order does not necessarily imply that the parents were strict or lenient with any particular child.

B) Jason will probably have lower self-esteem than either Barbara or Chloe.
This statement also cannot be determined from the given information. Birth order does not dictate self-esteem levels, as they can be influenced by various factors.

C) Barbara is more likely to have lower self-esteem than Jason.
There is no evidence in the given information to support this claim. Birth order alone does not determine self-esteem levels.

D) Jason is likely to be more aggressive in seeking out attention than either Barbara or Chloe.
This statement is the most likely to be accurate based on the given information. Typically, the oldest child may feel the need to seek attention more aggressively, as they no longer have the exclusive attention they once had before the younger siblings came along.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) Jason is likely to be more aggressive in seeking out attention than either Barbara or Chloe.
