ABSTRACT:
In this study birth order and willingness to engage in or view risky or dangerous sport was studied. Birth order, sex and family size were considered. It was found that males were more likely than females to prefer risky or contact sport. Also there seemed to be a mild tendency for male first borns to be less liable to be attracted to playing risky sports. Examines the differences in birth order on risky or dangerous sport preferences for male and female undergraduates. Preferences studied included sports people prefer to play, sports they prefer to watch and the kinds of sports they say they prefer. 494 undergraduates completed a mailed questionnaire. Found that males were more likely than females to prefer playing and watching risky sport, and to express a preference for contact sports. The only noteworthy effect of birth order on sports preferences was a weak tendency for male firstborns to be less attracted than male laterborns to playing risky sports.
