Being the only child has little to do with a child’s social development. A recent study that followed thirty only children and thirty-five first-born children to the age of three found that the two groups of children behaved very similarly to each other toward their peers, theirs parents, and other adults.
Which of the following, it true, most weakens the conclusion drawn above?
a) The groups being compared did not contain the same number of children
b) More time was spent observing the interactions of children with their mothers than with their fathers.
c) Most of the researchers involved in the study were person who had no brothers or sisters.
d) The first born children were, on the average , nearly three when their parents had second children.
e) The “others adultsâ€

I will go with C on this.
a) The groups being compared did not contain the same number of children
- OUT I dont think that weekens it. We are in any case taking the reprentatives from each class.
b) More time was spent observing the interactions of children with their mothers than with their fathers.
- OUT we are comparing the social developments.
c) Most of the researchers involved in the study were person who had no brothers or sisters.
d) The first born children were, on the average , nearly three when their parents had second children.
OUT - This kind of strengthens it..

D.
D says that the the two groups were actually the same because the study only lasted until the children were three years old, but those consider 1st children (i.e. with sibilings, NOT only child´s), were three when the first sibling was born. so, essentially during the time the study was being held, they too, were only children.
this means that the groups were not comparable, therefore weakening the conclusions drawn from the study
