“…the second-born children were anger or more aggressive), which worsened their sibling relations, and thus resulted in less warmth. Chen et al (2017) proposed an integrated model for sibling relations, in which both siblings' own factors (e.g., temperament) and parent-related factors (e.g., parent-child relationship) influenced the sibling bond. Sibling bond could further influence children's cognition, sociality, and behavior through different mechanisms (e.g., attachment, social learning, and social comparison).…”

“…In addition, some models, including attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969), social learning t h e o r y ( B a n d u r a , 1 9 77 ) , a n d e c os y s t e m t h eo r y (Bronfenbrenner, 1989), emphasized the role that sibling relations play in shaping children's development. There are many factors associated with the sibling relationships, which can be divided into two levels, individual level and familial level (e.g., the familial environment and the parent-child interaction) (Abramovitch, Pepler and Corter, 1982;Brody, Stoneman and MacKinnon, 1982;Chen et al, 2017, 2018, Chen, 2019Gicirelli, 1972;Cruz, Mechammil and Robins, 2019;Daniels and Plomin, 1985;Furman and Buhrmester, 1985;Gamble and Yu, 2014;Minnett, Vandeil and Santrock, 1983;Stoneman, Brody, Churchill and Winn, 1999;Volling, 1997Volling, , 2001Yin, Li, Li and Liu, 2019). In the present study, we pay more attention to the individual level factors associated to the sibling relationships.…”

We investigated sibling relationships, temperament, and social competence and behavior of first-born and second-born children in China. A total of 212 Chinese children (M = 4.52, SD = .88) completed Sibling Relationships Scale, Temperament Scale, and Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale. The results indicated that (1) for the first-born children, temperament subscales were positively related to their social competence and behavior, but had nothing to do with their sibling relationships, and children's sibling relationships were not significantly associated with their social competence and behavior; (2) for the second-born children, there was a fully mediating effect of implicit behavioral problems and explicit behavioral problems between emotionality of temperament and sibling warmth. The implications of the study were discussed.Keywords First-born preschool children . Second-born preschool children . Sibling relationships . Temperament . Social competence and behavior

This study explored how maternal involvement in sibling relationships and coparenting behaviors were associated with adolescents' sibling conflicts. Adolescents (M = 12.25 years; 47.8% boys) and their mothers from 542 families in China participated in this research. Mothers completed questionnaires that assessed their strategies of involvement in sibling relationships, as well as their perceptions of the quality of their coparenting behaviors. Furthermore, adolescents completed questionnaires that assessed sibling conflicts. Results revealed that the mother's positive guidance was negatively related and their authoritarian control was positively related to sibling conflict. A significant interaction was also found between positive maternal guidance in sibling relationships and undermining coparenting behaviors. These findings underscore the unique and interactive effects of mothers' direct involvement in sibling relationships and coparenting behaviors in adolescents' sibling conflicts.

“…Compared to the parents of two or more children, parents of only one child need to pay special attention to a new type of relationship that emerges after the birth of the second child, the sibling relationship, which was found in Previous studies can be influenced by the factors including sibling factors themselves (e.g., structural characteristics, temperament) and parent factors (parent-child relations, differential treatment, marital relationship, etc.) (5).…”

This study aimed to examine first-born children's sibling jealousy and explore the relationships among first-born children's sibling jealousy, temperament, and emotion regulation in China during COVID-19 pandemic. The research hypotheses of this study are empirically examined through online and offline surveys. A sample of 304 two-child families from China participated in the study; the first-born children were aged between 1.17 and 7 years. The results indicated the following: (1) the older the first-born children and the greater the age difference between siblings, the lower the sibling jealousy. (2) Difficult temperament of first-born children could predict sibling jealousy significantly and positively, and emotion regulation could predict sibling jealousy negatively. (3) There was a partially mediating effect of emotion regulation between temperament and sibling jealousy. Compared with intermediate temperament, first-born children with difficult temperament had weaker emotion regulation and higher sibling jealousy. Overall, findings have important implications for psychological interventions for families of first-born children with difficult temperament.
