Multimethod Comparison of Similarity in School Adjustment of Siblings and Unrelated Children.

Lewin, Lewis M.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v29 n6 p963-69 Nov 1993

Measured the social and academic adaptation of 45 sibling pairs in grades 2 to 5 and compared the results with similar data obtained for randomly selected, unrelated pairs matched on sex, grade, and classroom. Significant similarities were recorded among siblings in their peer relations, academic performance, and behavioral adjustment, whereas none of the correlations for matched pairs were significant.
