Change in maternal perception of sibling negativity: Within- and between-family influences
Article Abstract:
Change in maternal report of sibling negativity was investigated by examining the within-family similarity on sibling relationship quality, modeling within-family similarity as a function of the shared environment and the differentiation of family-wide and dyad-specific predictors. Results showed that the maternal negativity, genetic relatedness, age of the oldest child in the dyad, and the interaction between lone-parent status and maternal differential treatment predict the change in sibling negativity.
