The Impact of Sibling Warmth and Conflict on Children's Social Competence with Peers.

Lockwood, Rebecca L.; Kitzmann, Katherine M.; Cohen, Robert

Child Study Journal, v31 n1 p47-69 2001

Examined links between children's sibling and peer relationships. Found that sibling warmth was associated with more positive peer relations; sibling conflict was associated with both positive and negative peer outcomes, independent of sibling warmth; and sibling relationships were not more strongly associated with measures of friendships quality than with other measures of social competence.
