Sibling Interaction in the Home: A Longitudinal Study.
Pepler, Debra J.; And Others
Child Development, v52 n4 p1344-47 Dec 1981
In a longitudinal study of sibling interaction, same-sex and mixed-sex pairs of siblings were observed twice in their homes. Interaction patterns remained stable over the 18 months separating the two observations. Older children initiated prosocial and combative behavior more often than younger children and submitted less often to dominant behavior. (Author/DB)
