To Study the Association between Number of Siblings and Academic Achievement

In India your self-worth is measured through your academic excellence , if your not good in studies than people perceive you in a negative way and also because we are developing country so for us our human capital is very important. In spite of all program such as guidance and counseling strategies still poor performances by students were although recorded every year. So being a student of Psychology, researcher want to investigate what are the reasons behind the poor academic performance of students. There were various reasons because of which students get poor performance in academics such as, birth order, family size and number of siblings can affect the student's academic success and performance level. So as student of psychology this is my prime concern to measure “the association between Number of Siblings and Academic Achievement”. For this from Lovely Professional University, Phagwara the researcher selected 150 students through random sampling method. Data obtained regarding number of siblings and academic performance of students (CGPA) in +2 was analyzed by using Anova. Results depicts that there is no significant association between number of siblings and academic achievement. So from the present finding of the research it can be suggested that, in future we can include variables like the role of sibling's relationship, parental education, home environment, socioeconomic status on academic achievement.
