这项研究调查了儿童和父母对父母差别待遇(PDT)的一致程度，以及这种一致是否与兄弟姐妹关系质量的变化有关。74名11至13岁的儿童、他们的大一点的兄弟姐妹和他们的父母接受了采访，了解他们使用PDT的经历和儿童兄弟姐妹关系的质量。对PDT的大小、方向和公平性的一致程度一般为低到中等。然而，兄弟姐妹对父母差异情感的大小以及母亲控制和情感的公平性的一致与更积极的兄弟姐妹关系有关。虽然家庭成员更有可能同意父母的行为是公平的，当他们对不同情感发生的程度一致时，对控制行为的一致与对公平的一致程度较低相关。此外，家庭讨论父母行为的频率与共同的公平观念无关。研究结果强调，捕捉家庭成员的多重视角对于全面描述家庭关系至关重要。
This study examined the extent to which children and parents have concordant views about parental differential treatment (PDT) and whether such concordance is linked with variations in sibling relationship quality. Seventy-four 11- to 13-year-old children, their older siblings, and their parents were interviewed about their experiences with PDT and the quality of the children's sibling relationships. Levels of agreement about the magnitude, direction, and fairness of PDT were generally low to moderate. However, sibling agreement about the magnitude of parental differential affection and the fairness of maternal control and affection were associated with more positive sibling relationships. Whereas family members were more likely to agree that parental behaviors were fair when they were concordant about the extent to which differential affection occurred, agreement about controlling behaviors was associated with lower levels of agreement about fairness. In addition, the frequency of family discussions about parental behaviors was not linked to shared perceptions of fairness. Results emphasize that capturing the multiple perspectives of family members is crucial for obtaining a comprehensive portrayal of family relationships.
