本研究通过比较双胞胎兄弟姐妹和不同年龄的兄弟姐妹(独生子女)，考察了兄弟姐妹关系与儿童社会适应之间的关系，阐明了兄弟姐妹关系中的互惠关系对儿童社会发展的作用。58对同卵双胞胎、48对异卵双胞胎和86对单身兄弟姐妹的母亲报告了他们孩子的兄弟姐妹关系和社会适应情况。这项研究表明，兄弟姐妹关系对每个孩子的亲社会行为和品行问题的影响对双胞胎的影响比对独生子女的影响更大。此外，对兄弟姐妹的积极态度只会在同卵双胞胎中增加同伴问题。在异卵双胞胎和独生子兄弟姐妹中出现了相反的趋势。这项研究表明，与兄弟姐妹进行多次互动并在兄弟姐妹关系中建立互惠关系对儿童的社会发展非常重要。此外，我们的结果表明，同卵双胞胎之间的兄弟姐妹关系的质量可能与异卵双胞胎和独生子女之间的不同。
This study examined the link between sibling relationships and children's social adjustment by comparing twin siblings and siblings with different ages (singleton siblings), and clarified the role of reciprocity in sibling relationships on children's social development. Mothers of 58 monozygotic twin pairs, 48 dizygotic twin pairs, and 86 singleton sibling pairs reported their children's sibling relationships and social adjustment. This study showed that the effects of sibling relationships on the prosocial behaviors and conduct problems of each child are stronger for twins than for singleton siblings. Moreover, positivity toward one's sibling increased peer problems only among monozygotic twins. The opposite tendency was present among dizygotic twins and singleton siblings. This study suggests the importance for children's social development of having many interactions with siblings and establishing reciprocity in sibling relationships. Moreover, our results suggest that the quality of sibling relationships among monozygotic twins may be different from those among dizygotic twins and singleton siblings.
