Influence of Siblings on Adolescent Sexual Behavior.
Rodgers, Joseph Lee; Rowe, David C.
Developmental Psychology, v24 n5 p722-28 Sep 1988
Analysis of data in the ADSEX (Adolescent Sexuality) Dataset showed that younger siblings have consistently higher levels of sexual activity at a given age than do older siblings. The effect does not interact with the race or sex-match of siblings. A sibling influence interpretation is considered to be the most plausible explanation of the findings. (RH)
