Uses" sibling deidentification" to refer to a commonplace phenomenon (ie, judgments of being different from one's sibling. The present study examined its possible determinants and attempted to clarify what Ss mean when they judge siblings to be different. Results on alike-different judgments elicited from 383 undergraduates, 203 from 3-child and 180 from 2-child families, show significantly higher levels of deidentification for first pairs, firstborn S judging 2nd born sibling (S1Sb2) or 2nd-born S judging first sibling (S2Sb1), than for jump pairs (S1Sb3 or S3Sb1), with intermediate levels for 2nd pairs (S2Sb3 or S3Sb2). There were no significant within-pair effects of birth order, sex of S, and spacing. For 3-child first pairs, same-sex siblings deidentified significantly more than opposite-sex siblings did. Results on semantic differentials indicate that when Ss judged their sibling different they meant that they polarized on signficantly more personality dimensions than did those judging alike. Findings in conjunction with identification theory suggest that deidentification may be a mechanism for resolving sibling rivalry, a Cain Complex.(19 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
