Differential association of family subsystem negativity on siblings' maladjustment: Using behavior genetic methods to test process theory

Article Abstract:

The family context of adolescent sibling similarity and differentiation in maladjustment (antisocial behavior and depression) was investigated by examining negativity in different subsystems. The results for the differences in shared environmental influences across groups high and low in each of the domains of family negativity partially support, while influences on individual differences, support a theory of how parent-child and interparental relationships intersect with sibling relationship dynamics.

Genetic contributions to continuity, change, and co-occurrence of antisocial and depressive symptoms in adolescence

Article Abstract:

The factors underlying the marked stability in maladjustment and the considerable overlap between dimensions of maladjustment were examined. The study focused on the genetic and environmental bases of the stability and change of antisocial behavior and depressive symptoms and their simultaneous occurrence longitudinally and cross-sectionally in a sample of 405 pairs of siblings over a three year period. The findings suggest that the stability and co-occurrence of antisocial and depressive symptoms have genetic bases.
