本研究在控制了亲子关系和最好的朋友关系质量后，探讨了兄弟姐妹的感情和敌意是否与青少年的亲社会、外化和抑郁行为有纵向关系。同情被认为是一种可能的调解手段。随机选择的308个家庭完成了繁荣家庭项目的第3、4和5个阶段。通过结构方程模型的多组比较比较了女孩和男孩之间的差异。手足情（T3）与青少年同情心（T4）和亲社会行为（T5）呈正相关。兄弟姐妹敌意（T3）与青少年抑郁（T5）和外化行为（T5）呈正相关（仅限男孩），即使在控制了父母和朋友关系后也是如此。讨论的重点是兄弟姐妹关系在青少年发展中的独特作用。
The study explored whether sibling affection and hostility were longitudinally associated with adolescents' prosocial, externalizing, and depressive behaviors, after controlling for parent-child and best friend relationship quality. Sympathy was examined as a possible mediator. Three hundred and eight randomly selected families completed Waves 3, 4, and 5 of the Flourishing Families Project. Multiple group comparison via structural equation modeling compared differences between girls and boys. Sibling affection (T3) was positively associated with adolescents' sympathy (T4) and prosocial behavior (T5). Sibling hostility (T3) was positively associated with adolescents' depression (T5) and externalizing behavior (T5) (for boys only), even after controlling for parent and friend relationships. Discussion focuses on the unique role of the sibling relationship on adolescent development.
