• W178498349 abstract "In recent decades, behavioural ecologists have contributed to our understanding of the familythrough extensive studies of animal and traditional human populations. This researchemphasises the importance of sibling competition for parental resources and adaptivepatterns of biased parental care. In contrast, modern human families are rarely considered bybehavioural ecologists, with increases in wealth generally considered to decrease theimportance of resource dilution within families and modern cultural rules discouraging ofunequal treatment of children. In this thesis, I question the validity of these assumptions anduse rich longitudinal data to consider family structure effects on parental investment and childdevelopment in contemporary Britain. I consider time-based and financial investment inoffspring and measures of physical, cognitive and behavioural development over a 10 yearperiod. The following specific hypotheses are tested. First, parents will face a trade-offbetween fertility, investment per child and ultimately child well-being. This hypothesis issupported for all measures, except for behavioural well-being. Second, parents will biasinvestment towards early-born offspring. This hypothesis is largely supported. Later-bornchildren receive lower investment and have reduced physical and cognitive well-being.However, mental health is improved in the presence of older siblings. Third, parents will biasinvestment towards male offspring. Support for this hypothesis is mixed. Measures ofinvestment indicate a male-bias driven by fathers, while number of brothers relative to sistersis associated with reduced cognitive, but not physical or behavioural well-being. Fourth,children with unrelated father figures will receive less investment. This hypothesis issupported. Unrelated father figures are associated with lower investment from both parentsand reduced physical and behavioural well-being. Finally, I test the hypothesis that highersocio-economic status will alleviate family size trade-offs. This hypothesis is rejected, withsome evidence that resource competition is of increased importance in relatively wealthy andwell-educated families." @default.
