作者回顾了有关儿童和青少年兄弟姐妹关系的文献，从基础研究和理论开始追溯主题，然后集中于过去20年的实证研究。这篇文献记录了兄弟姐妹在家庭生活中的中心地位，兄弟姐妹关系质量变化的来源，以及兄弟姐妹对儿童和青少年发展和适应的重要性。兄弟姐妹的影响不仅出现在兄弟姐妹的频繁和经常情绪激烈的互动的背景下，而且还凭借兄弟姐妹在更大的家庭系统动态中的作用。虽然兄弟姐妹是家庭结构的基石和家庭动态的关键角色，但他们的作用相对被家庭学者和研究亲密关系的人所忽视。将兄弟姐妹的研究纳入家庭研究，为家庭作为社会和社会化系统的运作提供了新的见解。
The authors review the literature on sibling relationships in childhood and adolescence, starting by tracing themes from foundational research and theory and then focusing on empirical research during the past 2 decades. This literature documents siblings’ centrality in family life, sources of variation in sibling relationship qualities, and the significance of siblings for child and adolescent development and adjustment. Sibling influences emerge not only in the context of siblings’ frequent and often emotionally intense interactions but also by virtue of siblings’ role in larger family system dynamics. Although siblings are building blocks of family structure and key players in family dynamics, their role has been relatively neglected by family scholars and by those who study close relationships. Incorporating study of siblings into family research provides novel insights into the operation of families as social and socializing systems.
