Brody, Gene H.; Kim, Sooyeon; Murry, Velma McBride; Brown, Anita C.
Developmental Psychology, v39 n3 p618-28 May 2003
Tested links between early adolescent older sibling (OS) and younger sibling (YS) competence in rural African American families. Found that OS competence was stable across time and related to improvements in mothers' psychological functioning from Wave 1 to Wave 2. Mothers' Wave-2 psychological functioning related to Wave-3 involved-supportive parenting of YS. Older sibling Wave-2 competence and Wave-3 parenting indirectly related to Wave-4 younger sibling competence. (Author/KB)
