Render Posted January 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Children born under China's one-child policy, which limits most urban families to a single child, are less trusting, more risk-averse and more pessimistic than children born before the policy went into action, a new study finds. The research in some ways confirms stereotypes in the Chinese media about "Little Emperor Syndrome," which is the idea that a generation of only children in the country is growing up coddled and unsocialized. The seeming personality changes could have real-world impacts, the researchers say, creating a relatively risk-averse generation that may hinder innovation. However, the size of the study may limit its findings, an outside researcher warned. http://www.livescience.com/26166-china-one-child-policy-changes-personalities.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only want male babies . There was a murder at a kareoke bar bar because of a fight over some little emperors behavior .Last year I think .

Render Posted January 14, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 14, 2013 We document that China's One-Child Policy, one of the most radical approaches to limiting population growth, has produced significantly less trusting, less trustworthy, more risk-averse, less competitive, more pessimistic, and less conscientious individuals. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2013/01/09/science.1230221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
