Essay / Research Paper Abstract
31 pages in length. With the trials and tribulations of Jan Brady firmly entrenched in the American psyche, one might have thought that the Middle Child Syndrome was nothing more than a spoiled brat acting out her insecurities no
differently than any other child. However, since the time of The Brady Bunch more than two decades ago, the psychological community has come to realize that there is, indeed, an issue of self-esteem with regard to middle children. Parents who have three children do not consciously realize the varied ways in which they relate to each child, inasmuch as the eldest child typically maintains
a role of responsibility; the youngest assumes the role as baby; and the middle child gets lost somewhere in the shuffle. Given no identity like his or her siblings, the middle child comes to feel left out and unimportant – two of the most detrimental aspects of health self-esteem.

and behaviors" (Nagel, 2000). I. THE MIDDLE CHILD SYNDROME Self-efficacy is essential to a middle childs well being. Established from childhood,
self-efficacy is a perceived sense of competency, which, it can readily be surmised, represents the direct correlation between a person believing in himself and one who harbors a defeatist attitude.
Many - if not most -- social psychologists would readily agree that human interaction is always representational of joint interaction, inasmuch as social interaction implies interacting with other persons;
thus, the meaning of that interaction is always to be a joint or collective accomplishment. Impression management represents a significant component of joint
interaction; personal description is not just an individuals presentation of his or her own self-image, but rather the means by which another accepts that image as reality. Therefore, if
