Adler argued that birth order influences the development of personality, but the spacing between children (the number of years between births of siblings) can also moderate this effect to some extent. The spacing between children can impact the dynamics of the family and the relationships between siblings. For example, a larger age gap between siblings may result in less competition and more mentorship or caregiving roles, while a smaller age gap may lead to more rivalry and competition.

Overall, while birth order may have a significant impact on personality development, the spacing between children can also play a role in moderating this effect.
