在当前的荟萃分析中，我们调查了儿童和青少年兄弟姐妹关系质量（温暖，冲突和差别待遇）和内化和外化问题之间的联系，以及这些协会的潜在调节因素。从34项研究中，我们获得了85个效应量，基于12，257名儿童和青少年。结果发现，兄弟姐妹间的温暖、冲突和差别待遇都与内外化问题的发生率显著相关。兄弟姐妹冲突的影响大小比兄弟姐妹温暖和差别待遇，和协会的内在和外在的问题是相似的强度。效应大小受兄弟姐妹性别组合（较高比例兄弟对的效应更强）、兄弟姐妹之间的年龄差异（较小年龄差异的效应更强）和发育期（儿童的效应大小强于青少年）的调节。这些结果表明，在考虑精神病理学时，兄弟姐妹的背景是重要的。除了大量的证据表明亲子关系和婚姻关系对儿童和青少年发展的影响外，本荟萃分析还提醒人们，兄弟姐妹关系在研究和临床环境中需要更多的关注。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
In the current meta-analysis, we investigated the link between child and adolescent sibling relationship quality (warmth, conflict and differential treatment) and internalizing and externalizing problems, and potential moderators of these associations. From 34 studies, we obtained 85 effect sizes, based on 12,257 children and adolescents. Results showed that more sibling warmth, less sibling conflict and less differential treatment were all significantly associated with less internalizing and externalizing problems. Effect sizes for sibling conflict were stronger than for sibling warmth and differential treatment, and associations for internalizing and externalizing problems were similar in strength. Effect sizes were moderated by sibling gender combination (stronger effects for higher percentage brother pairs), age difference between siblings (stronger effects for smaller age differences), and developmental period (stronger effect sizes for children than for adolescents). These results indicate that the sibling context is important when considering psychopathology. In addition to the overwhelming evidence of the impact of parent-child and marital relationships on child and adolescent development, the present meta-analysis is a reminder that the sibling relationship warrants more attention in research as well as in clinical settings.
