Brigham Young University study finds parents tend to favor younger siblings, daughters, and the more agreeable.

Younger siblings generally receive more favorable treatment from parents.

Older siblings are often granted more autonomy, and parents are less controlling towards them as they grow up.

Children who are agreeable and responsible, regardless of birth order or gender, generally receive favorable treatment as well.
