title: Personal characteristics of Chinese children and their discrepancies:  a report on children's development in Anhui (I).
abstract: The authors report on a 1990 survey on the characteristics of children in China which included 1,000 primary school pupils in Anhui Province.  The focus is on differences between only children and those with brothers or sisters.  The results suggest that "the development of temperaments, moral character, behavior and basic ability of primary school pupils in Anhui is generally healthy despite certain discrepancies among different types of children."
