本文介绍的三项研究的结果描述了母亲对兄弟姐妹冲突和攻击的想法和感受，以及她们自己在这些重要的家庭事件中的作用。虽然研究1的结果仅限于学龄前儿童的家庭，父母的认知的几个重要特征被确定。大多数母亲将兄弟姐妹冲突归因于各种因素，包括孩子的个人特征、兄弟姐妹关系的竞争性质、家庭结构特征以及父母的关注和偏爱。在研究2中，学龄前儿童之间的身体攻击估计平均每周发生一次或更多。在第三项研究中，估计值更低：三分之一的母亲估计身体攻击每周发生一次或更多次，无论孩子的年龄如何。这些发现与观察性研究中学龄前儿童之间的身体攻击很少发生。在研究2中，大多数学龄前儿童的母亲期望随着孩子的成熟而减少身体攻击;然而，这些期望并没有得到研究3的结果的支持，在研究3中，母亲没有报告哥哥姐姐之间的身体攻击频率较低。
The findings of three studies presented in this paper describe mothers' thoughts and feelings about sibling conflict and aggression as well as their own role in these important family events. Although the results of Study 1 were limited to families with preschoolers, several important features of parent cognitions were identified. Most mothers attributed sibling conflict to a variety of factors, including their children's personal characteristics, the competitive nature of sibling relationships, family structure characteristics, and parental attention and favoritism. In Study 2, physical aggression between preschool-aged siblings was estimated to occur once a week or more on average. In Study 3, estimates were lower: one-third of mothers estimated physical aggression occurred once a week or more regardless of their children's ages. These findings contrast with those of observational studies in which physical aggression between preschoolers occurred rarely. The majority of mothers of preschoolers in Study 2 expected physical aggression to decline as their children mature; however, these expectations were not supported by the findings of Study 3, in which mothers did not report less frequent physical aggression between older siblings.
