【摘要】This paper examines the behavioral patterns exhibited by individuals exposed to the One-Child Policy. We conduct an experiment with individuals born just before and just after the One-Child Policy who are otherwise similar. Those who grew up as only children as a consequence of the policy are found to be less trusting, less trustworthy, less likely to take risks, and less competitive than if they had had siblings. They are also less optimistic, less conscientious, and more prone to neuroticism. Thus, the One Child Policy has significant ramifications for Chinese society and for the world with which China increasingly deals.
