“…However, family competence had a negative correlation with bullying. These findings are in keeping with those found by studies conducted in other contexts (Ciucci & Baroncelli, 2014; Dadds et al, 2013; Hawes et al, 2014; Morrill et al, 2018; Nwafor et al, 2015).…”

“…Similarly, studies reported that bullies are more likely to perceive their family as less cohesive and as less concerned about each other’s problems and needs (Flouri & Buchanan, 2003; Steven & Joyce, 2002). Furthermore, studies have shown that those who bully their siblings at home are more likely to bully their peers (Morrill, Bachman, Polisuk, Kostelyk, & Wilson, 2018; Tippett & Wolke, 2015; Wolke & Skew, 2011). Also, parenting behaviour such as abuse, neglect, and maladaptive parenting are associated with bullying behaviour, while positive parenting behaviour including good parent–child communication and warm and affectionate relationship are protective against bullying behaviour (Baldry, 2003; Flouri & Buchanan, 2003; Lereya, Samara, & Wolke, 2013; Spriggs, Iannotti, Nansel, & Haynie, 2007).…”

One of the assumptions of the triadic reciprocal model is that the dynamic relationships between internal factors and environmental contexts may have a reciprocal influence on behaviour. Based on this assumption, this study examined whether callous-unemotional traits mediate the relationship between family competence and bullying among 256 selected senior secondary pupils (age = 14–16; M = 15.5, SD = 5.4; boys = 131 and girls = 125). Three self-report scales were used to collect data for bullying, family competence, and callous-unemotional traits. Mediated multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses. The result showed that callous-unemotional traits and family competence have a positive and negative linear relationship with bullying, respectively, B = 0.13 and −0.20, p < .01. Similarly, the indirect effect of family competence on bullying through callous-unemotional traits was significant, B = 0.04, p < .05. This indicated that callous-unemotional traits could regulate the effect of family competence on bullying. The results may have implications for understanding, planning, and designing programmes for preventing and intervention of school bullying.

“…Moreover, there is some research indicating that peer and sibling victimization often co-occur [17][18][19]. Approximately 15% of youth experience both peer and sibling victimization, with sibling victimization being more common during childhood (e.g., school-aged) and typically preceding peer victimization [20][21][22].…”

The current study examined associations between sibling victimization and anxiety and depression symptoms while also considering peer victimization within time and six months later among elementary school-age youth. Both sibling and peer victimization were associated with depression symptoms within as well as across time when considered independently. However, when examined together, peer victimization was only uniquely associated with depression symptoms within time and sibling victimization was only uniquely associated with depression symptoms across time. Sibling and peer victimization were associated with anxiety symptoms within, but not across, time when examined independently, and no associations were evident when sibling and peer victimization were examined simultaneously. No interactive effects of sibling and peer victimization were evident for depression or anxiety symptoms, indicating unique rather than cumulative contributions. Findings suggest that the impact of sibling victimization on depression symptoms is more robust than effects of peer victimization over time.

“…While areas of familial violence such as parent-child abuse, intimate partner violence, and elderly abuse have gained much attention over the past several decades, relatively little consideration has been focused on sibling abuse of other children. The lack of research is surprising given that studies suggest sibling abuse is actually the most common form of family violence (Morrill et al 2018;Straus 2001).…”

Society's awareness of sibling violence and sexual abuse, and its response, has lagged behind other child abuse issues and concerns. In comparison with parentchild abuse, sibling abuse is generally underreported by parents, teachers, mental health professionals, and communities. Child welfare services and the legal system are more reluctant to accept and respond to reports of sibling violence and sexual abuse, and researchers agree that it has received less attention than other forms of child maltreatment despite good evidence that suggests it is more common and no less injurious than child abuse when a parent or other adult is the perpetrator. This chapter describes the historical context of sibling violence and sexual abuse, factors and methods essential in its identification and assessment, definitions of sibling physical violence (SPV), sibling psychological maltreatment (SPM), and sibling sexual abuse (SSA), its prevalence and relationship to other forms of peer and family violence, as well as individual, family, and ecological risk and protective factors. Cultural, ethnic, and gender considerations are discussed as well as an overview of clinical research on sibling abuse and its harmful effects. Evidence-based treatment strategies and clinical case material are utilized to illustrate fundamentals of a therapeutic approach to child and family intervention guided by trauma-informed principles. The current state of research and practice, future directions, and recommendations for policy and prevention are also summarized.
