Sibling Socialization of Competence in Rural, Single-Parent African American Families.

Brody, Gene H.; Murry, Velma McBride

Journal of Marriage and Family, v63 n4 p996-1008 Nov 2001

Older siblings' contributions to younger siblings' competence net of parenting processes were examined with 152 pairs of first-born (M=11.7 years) and second-born (M=9.2 years) siblings in rural, single-parent African American families. Structural equation modeling indicated that parenting was linked with older siblings' competence, which in turn was linked with competence among younger siblings. (Author)
