Impact Of Birth Order On Substance Abuse -A Review

Author(s) Dr. Namita Sinha
Country India
Abstract Birth order, It is believed that the order in which a child is born Influences their personality. Children born into the same family environment form their personalities and lifestyle approach in a different manner. Originally, the construct of psychological order was classified in terms of five general positions: first, second, middle, youngest, and only child. This article reviews the impact of Birth order on substance abuse. In this field several studies have been done. There have been various studies that look at the relationship between birth order and substance abuse, many of which contradict each other. Some studies suggest that the middle child is most likely to abuse substances due to a lack of attention in their childhood, while others point to the pressure to succeed placed on first born children as a basis for future addiction. There are also studies that assert that the youngest child does not develop adequate coping mechanisms and therefore is most likely to handle anxiety and depression by using drugs or alcohol. Research on the effect of birth order on substance abuse has produced conflicting results, and So It’s concluded that apart from birth order, there are some other factors which impact drug abuse.
Keywords : Substance, Substance abuse, Birth order, First order, Middle order, Youngest, Only child.
