Predictions for sex of first born child reflect masculine and feminine characteristics in male and female undergraduates.

Women Women who predicted that they would have a boy first (mean ± SE = 3.60 ± 0.48, n = 30) scored significantly higher than those who predicted a girl first (mean ± SE = 2.36 ± 0.39, n = 25) on the SAT ( t 53 = 1.95, p < 0.05, one-tailed) ( Figure 1 ) and this difference approached significance for the SOI (boy: mean ± SE = 42.97 ± 4.76, n = 30; girl: mean ± SE = 32.44 ± 4.42; t 53 = 1.56, p = 0.06, one-tailed).
