Q

Sibling Relationships as a Unique Developmental Context

A

(1) Characterized by both reciprocal and complementary interactions
• Reciprocal interactions: characterized by equal and returned exchanges
• Complementary interactions: characterized by unequal distributions of power and knowledge
• Siblings engage in both
• Similar in age
• Different in age

(2) Involuntary
Young siblings typically share living space and cannot withdraw from each other
Throughout life, have common family relationships that will bind them together

(3) Lifelong
For many of us, the longest relationship you have will be with a sibling

25
Q

Aggression by Siblings

A

Sibling aggression is so common, it is viewed as normative, and not of clinical concern
• DSM-5 criteria for oppositional defiant disorder state that if the symptoms – including vindictiveness and spitefulness – are only present in interaction with siblings, the diagnosis should not be given
But, there is mounting evidence that sibling aggression can be harmful
• Consequences for victims
• Consequences for aggressors

26

A

Children in harmonious sibling relationships reported the best overall adjustment
• Least anxiety/depression and aggressive behavior problems
• Highest competence
Children in the hostile sibling relationships reported the poorest overall adjustment
• More aggressive and less self-perceived competence than children in the affectively intense relationship
• Warmth may be protective

  • Brother-brother and older brother-younger sister pairs more likely to be conflictual

Decreasing Conflict and Increasing

Warmth in Sibling Relationships
