The aim of this study was to establish whether a relation between confidence in judgments and
decisions is affected when individuals are made aware of their birth order position. Students
from The University of Arizona were recruited and asked to give upper- and lower-bound ranges
for a guess before and after a subtle birth order reminder. Participants also completed The
General Decision Making Style questionnaire to determine whether any style correlated with
birth order position. It was discovered that no statistically significant relationship was found
between reminder of birth order position and confidence in decisions made. The General
Decision Making Style Questionnaire indicated a significant relationship between age and the
intuitive style.
