Sisters, Brothers, and Delinquency: Evaluating Social Influence during Early and Middle Adolescence.
Slomkowski, Cheryl; Rende, Richard; Conger, Katherine J.; Simons, Ronald L.; Conger, Rand D.
Child Development, v72 n1 p271-83 Jan-Feb 2001
Examined sibling influence on delinquency in 164 brother and sister pairs over 4-year period. Found that sibling similarity for self-reports of delinquent behavior were highly correlated for brothers and sisters. Conditional effects of high hostile-coercive relationships and older sibling delinquency predicted younger sibling delinquency in both brother and sister pairs. (Author/KB)
