Abstract

This paper sheds light on the formation process of noncognitive skills by examining the determinants of a host of personality traits. Using data from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS), for individuals in larger families (three or more children), we find having a same-sex sibling leads to improved long-run noncognitive skills and positive personality traits. The latter result is driven entirely by females. We examine potential mechanisms by exploring the links between parental investment and sibling interactions. The results could possibly speak to public actions to enhance child development and human capital accumulation.

非认知技能的决定因素:兄弟姐妹互动和养育质量的中介效应

本文通过考察一系列人格特征的决定因素，揭示了非认知技能的形成过程。使用美国国家中年发展调查（MIDUS）的数据，对于大家庭（三个或三个以上孩子）中的个人，我们发现有一个同性兄弟姐妹可以提高长期的非认知技能和积极的性格特征。后一种结果完全是由女性推动的。我们通过探索父母投资和兄弟姐妹互动之间的联系来研究潜在的机制。这一结果可能表明采取了公共行动来促进儿童发展和人力资本积累。
