- Title
BIRTH ORDER AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION IN MEN: EVIDENCE FOR TWO INDEPENDENT INTERACTIONS.
- Authors
ANTHONY F. BOGAERT; JIAN LIU
- Abstract
Birth order is correlated with male sexual orientation, but the reason(s) for this relationship is unclear. In the present study, data from a Canadian sample of homosexual and heterosexual men (N=604) were used to present evidence of two independent birth order interactions – one with height and the other with parental age – predicting sexual orientation in men. If these findings prove reliable, it raises the possibility that different aetiological factors underlie the birth order/sexual orientation relationship in men.
