"No! The Lambs Can Stay Out Because They Got Cozies": Constructive and Destructive Sibling Conflict, Pretend Play, and Social Understanding.
Howe, Nina; Rinaldi, Christina M.; Jennings, Melissa; Petrakos, Harriet
Child Development, v73 n5 p1460-73 Sep-Oct 2002
Investigated associations among constructive and destructive sibling conflict, pretend play, internal state language, and sibling relationship quality among sibling pairs with one kindergarten-age child. Found that specific resolution strategies were associated with conflict issues, aggression and internal state language, and that conflict issues and resolutions were associated with relationship quality, high-level pretense negotiation, and internal state language.
