Only-child alcoholics were not included in this test. One can reasonably assume, however, that death, divorce, or separation are as likely to follow the birth of an only child as the birth of a last-born child. If the only-child alcoholics are added to the the last-born group, an even larger chi square is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
