The relationship between individuals' psychological birth order and their identity perceptions was discussed and according to the results of the correlation analysis, a positive and significantly low relationship was found between positive identity perception and first child and youngest child. There is a negative and significantly low relationship between the middle and only child. While there was no significant relationship between negative identity and first child, a positive relationship was found between negative identity and middle and only child and a negative relationship was found between negative identity and youngest child. In this study, it was also investigated whether psychological birth order is a significant predictor of identity perception of adolescents. As a result of the regression analyses performed, while the predictive variables of positive identity perception were middle child, first child and youngest child, respectively; the predictive variables of negative identity perception were middle child and only child, respectively.
