在这里研究的是兄弟姐妹之间的联系，在变化轨迹的亲子关系的质量和质量的兄弟姐妹关系在2年的青春期。参与者是来自185个主要是白色、工作和中产阶级家庭的第一个和第二个出生的兄弟姐妹（第一个年龄为14.94岁，第二个年龄为12.46岁）。在家庭访谈中，兄弟姐妹报告了他们的二元家庭关系。对于亲子温暖而非亲子冲突的报告，结果与兄弟姐妹分化理论一致：随着时间的推移，兄弟姐妹之间在亲子温暖方面的差异越来越大，这与第一次报告的兄弟姐妹关系中的温暖增加和冲突减少的轨迹有关，而第二次报告的兄弟姐妹关系中的温暖增加。研究结果支持这样的观点，即兄弟姐妹的分化可能是一种策略，用于管理兄弟姐妹的冲突和竞争。
Studied here were the links between sibling differences in trajectories of change in the qualities of parent-child relationships and the qualities of sibling relationships across a 2-year period in adolescence. Participants were first- and second-born siblings (M age = 14.94 years for firstborns and M age = 12.46 years for secondborns) from 185 predominantly White, working and middle-class families. In home interviews, siblings reported on their dyadic family relationships. For reports of parent-child warmth but not parent-child conflict, results were consistent with sibling differentiation theory: Increasing differences between siblings over time in parent-child warmth were linked to trajectories of increasing warmth and decreasing conflict in the sibling relationship as reported by firstborns, and increasing warmth in the sibling relationship as reported by secondborns. The findings support the view that sibling differentiation may be a strategy for managing sibling conflict and rivalry.
