This experiment used the Felt Figure Technique developed by Kuethe in an attempt to investigate the relationship between birth order and the use of specific social schemata. Seven object sets were used, three two-figure sets and four three-figure sets. The results indicated that for the two-figure sets, firstborn individuals placed the figures closer together than laterborn individuals. For the three-figure sets, firstborn individuals under stress placed the figures closer together. The three-figure sets were also ordered in terms of the number of human figures in the object set. The results suggest that there is a measurable relationship between birth order and social schemata used by an individual.
本实验采用了库特开发的毡制人偶技术，试图探究出生顺序与特定社会图式使用之间的关系。使用了七组人偶，三组双人人偶组和四组三人人偶组。结果表明，对于双人人偶组，长子（女）将人偶放置得比后出生的人更靠近彼此。对于三人人偶组，处于压力下的长子（女）将人偶放置得更靠近彼此。三人人偶组还根据人偶组中人物的数量进行了排序。结果表明，出生顺序与个体使用的社会图式之间存在可测量的关系。
