title: Leadership: effects of birth order and education.
abstract: This study examines the dichotomy between female leadership qualities and those that traditionally link firstborn males and females to leadership positions. Research has repeatedly supported the belief that oldest children should rate higher than later born children on the California Psychological Inventory scales, but as this theoretical framework implies, these characteristics are inconsistent with the evolving leadership paradigm.
