Children's Understanding of Parental Differential Treatment.
Kowal, Amanda; Kramer, Laurie
Child Development, v68 n1 p113-26 Feb 1997
Examined whether established associations between perceptions of parental differential treatment (PDT) and sibling relationship quality are moderated by children's perceptions and attributions of parental behavior in 61 children (11-13 years) and their siblings. Children did not perceive PDT in two-thirds of instances reported; 75% who acknowledged differential treatment found it justified because of age, needs, or other factors. (DR)
