Abstract

A Comparative Analysis Unraveling Personality and Social Adjustment of the Single Child Experience Versus Sibling Interaction explores the impact of sibling status on personality development and social adjustment. The study aimed to compare the psychological impacts of individuals raised as single children to those with siblings, focusing on traits such as extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, and social adaptation. A total of 104 adults (18 years and older) participated in the study, executing the Mini-IPIP for personality traits and the Student Social Adjustment Inventory (SSI) for social adjustment. The results revealed substantial differences between single children and those with siblings, with the former exhibiting higher levels of neuroticism and lower social adaptability. These findings contribute to the understanding of how sibling interaction shapes personality and social integration, Providing evidence for birth order and sibling dynamics to play a critical role in personality development and social integration.
