Family Size, Birth-Order, Age-Interval, and the Creativity of Children.

Gaynor, Joni L. Radio; Runco, Mark A.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v26 n2 p108-18 1992

This study examined the relationship between age-interval between siblings and children's creative abilities, as well as parental views on the creative abilities of 116 children (ages 9-12 years). The study found that larger age intervals resulted in greater creativity and that age intervals also interacted with birth order, family size, and age. (DB)
