The relationships between birth order and dimensions of kinship affiliation are examined in a study based on a total sample of women college students in the Middle East. The main finding of the study is that first-borns tend to spend more time with relatives than last-born girls. However, the same pattern by birth order does not always hold in the case of parental associations and kinship participation-the other two dimensions of kinship affiliation. Theoretically, the continued importance of kinship affiliation for all the different groups studied here implies the solidarity of the family in the Middle Eastern society. Moreover, the relatively high involvement with relatives on the part of first-born girls, as compared to last-borns, moderately supports the proposition that the former group acts as a conservator of the traditional culture
