Intra-family factors influence on individual formation
(RESUME)

The results of large family studies in foreign psychology are presented. It is shown that such family factors as family size, sequence and intervals of births determine the child's intellect, personality and character development. The increase of children's number in a family leads to the intellectual potential deterioration: the higher child's number of birth the lower intellectual indices. It partly can be compensated for by the increase of intervals between births. The first and the last children in large family differ in such personal traits as anxiety, introvercy, communicability, independence, frustration, ets. Theoretical notions concerning effects of family size and birth order are discussed.
