Howe, Nina; Fiorentino, Lisa M.; Gariepy, Nadine
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v49 n2 p183-208 Apr 2003
Investigated: (1) influence of maternal context on frequency and types of conflicts of sibling dyads in middle childhood, and (2) the stability of maternal and sibling interaction over 4 years. Found that maternal presence depressed conflict frequency and aggression. Earlier patterns of family interaction were related to later indices of sibling conflict and maternal interaction. (Author)
