Adler's theory posits that birth order formation impacts individuals. We tested Adler's birth order theory using data from a cross-sectional survey of 946 Chilean youths. We examined how birth order and gender are associated with drug use and educational outcomes using three different birth order research models including: (1) Expedient Research, (2) Adler's birth order position, and (3) Family Size theoretical models. Analyses were conducted with structural equation modeling (SEM). We conclude that birth order has an important relationship with substance use outcomes for youth but has differing effects for educational achievement across both birth order status and gender.</p>","PeriodicalId":89588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of individual psychology (1998)","volume":"68 1","pages":"19-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3375868/pdf/nihms345930.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30698545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Multi-Domain Relationship Satisfaction scale was constructed to pose parallel questions about participants' satisfaction with their most important person, group, God, and pet. Subscates reflecting person, group, and God satisfaction exhibited convergent and discriminant validity and moderate temporal stability over a one-year period. Person-group and group-God satisfaction ratings were significantly correlated. Person and group satisfaction contributed independently to well-being controlling for sociodemographic factors, and God satisfaction and pet satisfaction. Future research should examine the extent to which differences or commonalities in the effects of relationships in these domains are attributable to specific provisions of various relationship types.</p>","PeriodicalId":89588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of individual psychology (1998)","volume":"66 1","pages":"43-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3889142/pdf/nihms539121.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32035080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
