Much attention has recently been drawn to the possibility that children within the same family experience different environments. The present study investigated dimensions of differential experience reported by siblings in the same family and examined the origins of these experiences. The Sibling Inventory of Differential Experience (SIDE) was completed by 396 adolescent and young adult siblings from both adoptive and nonadoptive home. The SIDE asks each individual to compare his or her experiences to those of one of his or her siblings in the domains of sibling interaction, parental treatment, peer characteristics, and events specific to the individual. The results indicate that, on the average, siblings experience quite different environments, especially in the areas of differential sibling interaction and differential peer characteristics. Differential sibling experience as assessed by the SIDE shows little genetic influence, which implies that its origin is primarily environmental.
