Sibling Delinquency and the Family Environment: Shared and Unshared Influences.
Rowe, David C.; And Others
Child Development, v63 n1 p59-67 Feb 1992
Used a longitudinal sibling research design and a large, nationally representative sample of 15- to 22-year-old siblings to study shared and unshared environmental influences on delinquency. Although no unshared family environmental influences were found for sisters and mixed-sex siblings, they may have existed for brothers. Data suggested substantial shared environmental or genetic influences for siblings. (Author/GLR)
