the claim

Middle children are more likely to be rebellious.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Middle children are more likely to be rebellious?

Partly. One popular psychology book asserts middle children have a rebellious personality, while an encyclopedia entry describes later-borns generally, not middle children specifically, as rebellious. Neither source provides comparative data on middle children's likelihood of rebelliousness.
