The article compares children in kibbutz societies and Israeli urban settings and rates of psychiatric referrals for first-born children. The authors found that kibbutz-reared first-born children, and urban first-born children, regardless of gender are more likely to be referred for psychiatric examination that later-born children, however the gender of first-borns referred was a distinguishing factor between the two societies. Kibbutz socialization and its effects on childhood psychology are examined. |
