Presentation Abstract
The question at hand is if there was an effect on siblings' form of coping methods through the COVID-19 pandemic based on their personality traits and birth order ranking. Specifically, if the later born siblings are predicted to have been better adapted to the effects of the pandemic due to certain personality characteristics such as conscientiousness or extroversion. The data was collected through a series of three questionnaires administered through Coastal's SONA Systems and was interpreted and broken up into more detail through Microsoft Excel and SPSS. The study had 61 participants total. With this data collected, it was found that the results did not support the predicted hypothesis. Instead, it gave emphasis on how low stress is for middle siblings (with also having the highest score for agreeableness), and how high stress is for only children. Based on the data, the takeaway would be to develop another study that investigates the findings that were present within this one, but with better additions, such as more details on the participants. For example, adding in more detailed traits on participants such as sex, specific age, race, religion, and more. This would make the data more broad and varied, but also give a better understanding of the participants overall. The following is a research study on these effects and what results were interpreted from the findings. Keywords: Covid-19, Personality, Coping, Birth Order
