RIPOLL, Karen; CARRILLO, Sonia  e  CASTRO, John Alexander. Relationship between siblings and psychological adjustment in adolescents: effects of the quality of parent-child relationship. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.1, pp.125-142. ISSN 1794-4724.

This study evaluated the effect of parent-child relationship quality (acceptance and differential treatment) over dimensions of the quality of sibling relationships (warmth and conflict) and psychological adjustment in 69 adolescent sibling dyads. The effects of parent-child relationships were evaluated both at the individual and dyadic levels. In older siblings, the father-child relationship had a signifi- cant effect on both their perception of warmth in the sibling relationship and psychological adjustment. In younger siblings, there was a significant dyadic effect of the older sibling's perceived acceptance by mother on their perception of warmth in the sibling relationship. Results are analyzed based on the literature and questions for future research are proposed.
