Middle child syndrome is the belief that middle children are excluded, ignored or even outright neglected because of their birth order. This alleged effect is supposed to occur because the first child is more prone to receiving privileges and responsibilities (by virtue of being the oldest), while the youngest in the family is more likely to receive indulgences. The second child (or middle child) no longer has their status as the baby and is left with no clear role in the family, or a feeling of being "left out".

  • Middle child syndrome is the belief that middle children are excluded, ignored or even outright neglected because of their birth order. This alleged effect is supposed to occur because the first child is more prone to receiving privileges and responsibilities (by virtue of being the oldest), while the youngest in the family is more likely to receive indulgences. The second child (or middle child) no longer has their status as the baby and is left with no clear role in the family, or a feeling of being "left out". There is often a negative connotation surrounding the term "middle child syndrome." It is debated whether the family dynamic imposes this negative attitude or if middle children develop it themselves, or if it exists at all. The APA Dictionary of psychology states that "the notion that [birth order] has strong and consistent effects on psychological outcomes is not supported". Supposedly,favoritism for middle children generally isn't as common or apparent as favoritism for the eldest and youngest child . The oldest child is typically viewed as being special and a natural born leader while the youngest is seen as the "baby" of their family. Middle Child Syndrome is the theory that Middle children fall in between or are "lost in the shuffle" and aren't usually stereotyped with any specific traits which results in less attachment with their parents. When thinking about the theory of birth order and the studies that have been done it is important to remember that correlation does not equal causation. Many similar theories regarding birth order seek to classify and box in personality aspects of individuals based on birth order. However, in recent years some have noted that family dynamics have changed in that there are often larger gaps between children, there are merged families with step-siblings as well as blended families because of adoption. All of these factors can affect the way siblings view themselves within the family group. (en)
  • Sindrom anak tengah adalah perasaan pengecualian yang muncul dari diri anak tengah. Efek ini terjadi karena anak pertama lebih rentan menerima tanggung jawab, dengan demikian memiliki hak-hak istimewa (berdasarkan prinsip moral menjadi yang tertua), sedangkan anak yang paling muda dalam keluarga lebih cenderung menerima indulgensi. Anak kedua (atau anak tengah) tidak lagi memiliki status mereka sebagai bayi/anak kecil, dan dibiarkan tanpa memiliki peran yang jelas dalam keluarga atau merasa "ditinggalkan". Meskipun digunakan untuk menjelaskan perilaku anak, sindrom anak tengah ini tidak benar-benar merupakan suatu gangguan klinis. (in)
