Role of Birth Order in Social Loafing, Internal Attribution and Academic Achievement Birth Order: A Correlational Study

This research explores the intricate relationship between birth order and various dimensions of human behavior and achievement, with a specific focus on social loafing, internal attribution, and academic achievement. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology, sociology, and education, the study investigates how sibling position within the family hierarchy influences individuals’ propensity for social loafing in group settings, their attributional styles regarding success and failure, and their academic performance across diverse domains and educational levels. Through a comparative analysis of existing literature and empirical data, the research elucidates the nuanced dynamics of birth order effects within different cultural and socio-economic contexts, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying these phenomena and their implications for individual development and societal outcomes.
