Tom is the oldest of five children. His parents both work at low-paying, unskilled jobs. They are not home regularly and when they are verbally fight; at times, the fights escalate to physical aggression. Tom and his brothers and sisters have witnessed the violence on occasion and have also been direct victims of harsh discipline and physical abuse. Who in Tom's family may suffer the most due to resource dilution?

The middle child

Explanation:

The resource dilution theory states that as the resources that can be provided by parents are finite, and as parents give birth to more children, the resources that can be accrued by one child begins to decline. This theory suggests that siblings are always in competition for the time, financial resources, and energy of their parents, and hence it is important to have fewer children. Hence from the option of the middle child, the youngest sibling, and the parents, the middle sibling will most likely suffer from resource dilution as more attention will be given to the youngest child by the parents.
