Only child 'syndrome': how do siblings, or a lack of them, affect your personality?

As a sibling researcher I am often presented with the question about the consequences of being an only-child. I am usually asked this question by singletons, as they are known in the field, during the Q and A time after my lectures. Not wanting to get into the complicated and touchy subject of siblings vs. only-children, I typically reply with a socially mindful comment about the many influential people, from Leonardo da Vinci to Elvis Presley, who were only-children.
