Downey Quoted in Newsweek
Professor Douglas Downey, was quoted in Kathleen Deveny’s June 2 “Newsweek” article entitled, “Why 'Only-Children' Rule” (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/138538 ). He comments on his research findings that 'only-children' and children with a lone sibling tend to perform better academically and stay in school longer than children who are part of a larger sibling group. It is always great to see press coverage of someone’s work we are familiar with in the department. Congratulations Doug!
