ABSTRACT
This listing of journal articles, doctoral
dissertations, several masters' theses, chapters in edited books, and
authored books chronicles birth order research from 1976 to the end
of 1993. The bibliography in this paper, arranged by publication
types, consists of 685 papers published in journals, 326
dissertations and theses, 24 chapters from edited books, and 30
authored books and monographs for a total of 1,065 items. The
bibliography continues from where earlier bibliographers, such as
Miley and Forer, left off, fulfilling a clear need for an updated
birth order bibliography. Multiple sources were consulted, since no
single published or online computer source contained the necessary
amount or scope of entries. Psychological Abstracts and Sociological
Abstracts (both printed and online versions), Medline (online) and
Dissertption Abstracts International (online) were among the sources
searched, using the term "birth order" to search printed and online
versions. Some items of all forms were identified through references
appearing in other books and papers. At the end of the publication,
the 1,011 published studies, theses, and dissertations are indexed
under at least one of 122 main topic headings (e.g., achievement,
career/work, cross cultural intelligence, parent-child interactions,
personality), with about 40% of the entries indexed under more than
one term.

Abstract
This bibliography continues the list of published
papers,
dissertations, theses, books, and book chapters
pertaining to birth
order that was begun by Miley (1969) and last
updated by_Forer
(1977).
This bibliography consists of 1065 items
that have been
published and/or abstracted over the last 18
years concerning birth
order.
Bibliography entries have been indexed under
one or more of
122 topic headings.

Birth Order Bibliography:
1976-1993
Miley and his colleagues (Miley, 1969; Vockell, Felker,
&
Miley, 1973) have compiled bibliographies chronicling birth
order
research from 1963 to 1971.
Forer, (1977) extended these efforts
by compiling research from 1971 to 1976 in her bibliography.
All
three of these bibliographies included dissertations and
papers
published in professional journals.
The bibliographies by Miley (1969) and Vockell, Felker
& Miley
(1972) appear continuous with each other and also contain
indices
to help in locating topics within the bibliographies.
Forer's
(1977) bibliography seems continuous with Vockell,
Felker & Miley
(1973), however, Forer did not index the 375 entries in her
list.
Although the aforementioned authors have cataloged
investigations from 1973 to 1976, no compilation
or indexing of
birth order investigations have appeared in the
widely distributed
lite'.ature since then with the possible exception
of Watkins,
(1986) who listed 122 published birth order articles
from 1980-
1983.
Many dissertations and papers have appeared in
the
intervening 18 years since Forer (1977),
clearly indicating the
need for an updated birth order bibliography.
This project assembled a listing of
journal articles, doctoral
dissertations, several masters theses, chapters
in edited books,
and authored books from 1976 to the end
of 1993.
The bibliography

Birth Order Bibliography

in this paper consists of 685 papers published in journals, 326
dissertations and theses, 24 chapters in edited books, and 30
authored books and monographs for a total of 1065 items.
We
indexed each of the dissertations, theses, and published papers
included in this bibliography.
Method
We consulted multiple sources
.,
g
to compile the bibliography.
No single published or online computer
source contains the amount or scope of entries as this
bibliography.
Most of the published studies were identified and
selected through searches of both the printed and online computer
versions of Psychological Abstracts (PA) and Sociological Abstracts
The database, Medline, was also searched, although a much
(SA).
smaller proportion of birth order investigations were ultimately
included from this source.
The term "birth order" was used to
search printed versions of the aforementioned abstracts to identify
relevant published studies.
Studies were also identified through
online methods.
Here the key phrases, titles, and abstracts of
studies appearing in the abstracts were also searched for "birth
order."
Dissertations and theses were identified through online
searches of Dissertation Abstracts International (DAI) and
Psychological Abstracts.
Our bibliography's dissertation entries

for 1993 are incomplete, perhaps due to the time lag between
dissertations completed in 1993 and their appearance in DAI or PA.
Some book contributions in the bibliography were identified through
a Psych-Lit online search of books and book chapters.
Finally,
some items of all forms (published studies, dissertations, etc.)
were identified through references appearing in other books and
papers.

This bibliography was compiled
to take up where the entries of Fo.cer (1977) left off.
Because
Forer primarily scanned Psychological Abstracts up to November,
1976, her bibliography did not contain some published items
appearing in late 1976.
In addition, numerous dissertations were
omitted probably because these contributions appeared slowly in
DAI, as mentioned above.
We supplemented Forer's 12 entries in 1976 with 45 published
papers and 19 dissertations.
Our bibliography also contains 21
dissertations in 1975, four dissertations and one published study
in 1974, and-two dissertations completed in 1973 that
were not in
Forer's bibliography.
Along with Forer's entries, these additions
in our bibliography should assure continuous and comprehensive
coverage from the mid 1970's to December of 1993.
Indexing.
All 1011 published studies, theses, and
dissertations have been indexed under at least one of 122 main
Birth Order Bibliography
6
topic headings.
About 40% of the entries have more than
one index
term.
We indexed items in our bibliography consistent
with Miley's
(1969) method.
Index terms appropriate for each entry
were decided
on the basis of article or dissertation titles, associated
descriptors or key phrases in citations identified
through online
computer searches, and in some instances from titles
of journals
publishing birtn order papers.
Some general index categories such
as intelligence, career/work, psychopathology,
etc. were determined
in advance of indexing.
Smaller index categories emerged during
the indexing process.
In these cases, the authors discussed
whether, to let the smaller categories stand
alone or to combine
them .o create a more general index category.
Working separately, the authors indexed
the each entry and then
compared their results.
In cases of disagreement between the
authors, discussions and/or further checks
of descriptive key words
or phrases were used to determine the appropropriate
index terms.
Although indexing entries in this
manner is not exhaustive and may
be arbitrary in some cases, the index
can be used productively to
identify specific citations under
general topic areas.
