Dimensions of Mothers' and Fathers' Differential Treatment of Siblings: Links with Adolescents' Sex-Typed Personal Qualities.

Tucker, Corinna Jenkins; McHale, Susan M.; Crouter, Ann C.

Family Relations, v52 n1 p82-89 Jan 2003

Explores mothers' and fathers' differential treatment (PDT) of their adolescent offspring and examines how siblings' personal qualities were associated with PDT. Sex was associated with parents' differential temporal involvement. Sex-typed personal qualities were related to parents' differential discipline. Both sex and sex-typed personal characteristics were linked to differential affection. Privileges and chores were associated with age and birth order. (Contains 47 references and 3 tables.) (GCP)
