The consequences of antisocial behavior in older male siblings for younger brothers and sisters
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the contribution of younger male and female siblings' conflict and involvement in deviant activities with their older brothers to younger siblings' adolescent adjustment problems, in the context of parenting. Ineffective parenting during younger siblings' childhood had no direct effects on adjustment but facilitated their exposure to older brothers' deviant peers and activities, and strongly influenced risk for traumatic experiences like adolescent antisocial behavior, drug use, sexual behavior.
