Sibling relationships in early adulthood

Article Abstract:

The Adult Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (ASRQ) was used to understand the nature of sibling relationships in young adults and to examine the individual differences in these relationships. Results revealed that sibling relationships in adulthood were characterized by three dimensions which include warmth, conflict and rivalry. Furthermore, individual differences in adult sibling relationships were associated with family structure variables and were linked to the amount of contact between siblings and to sibling's mental health.

Marital conflict and parental hostility: links with children's sibling and peer relationships

Article Abstract:

Marital conflict is connected with more conflictual and rivalrous and less warm sibling relationships and with more difficult peer relationships, according to research into the links between marital conflict and children's relationships with siblings and peers. This research confirmed earlier findings indicating connections between marital conflict and hostile parental behaviour. Regression analysis indicates that maternal hostility mediates the connection between marital conflict and sibling warmth and conflict.

Longitudinal associations between sibling relationship quality, parental differential treatment, and children's adjustment

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine associations between changes in sibling relationships and changes in parental differential treatment and corresponding changes in children's adjustment. The results indicated that as sibling relationships improved over time, children's depressive symptoms decreased over time, also as children were less favored over their siblings over time, their externalizing problems increased over time.
