“…This percentage was significantly higher than the percentage of participating friends in the high-risk subsample, which was 81.1 % (p \ .001). Previous research with the same sample has reported relatively high levels of stability and reciprocity in these friendships (Defoe et al 2013;Keijsers et al 2012).…”

Discrepancies between children and partners (e.g., parents, friends, peers) in reports of social functioning and self-other relationships are common in clinical practice and in research. However, it is not clear whether children's biased perceptions of self-other relationships, relative to the reports of partners, are predominantly a reflection of underlying psychological dysfunctions or whether these biased perceptions present a risk factor for subsequent problematic development. This longitudinal study therefore examined the effects of adolescent-mother disagreement and adolescent-best friend disagreement in perceptions of close (dyadic) relationships on the development of psychopathology in early adolescence. The sample included 497 thirteen year-old adolescents of Dutch-Caucasian backgrounds (57 % boys; 41 % at high risk for externalizing problems), their mothers, and self-nominated best friends. The participants completed reports of positive dyadic relationship quality (warmth) in Grade 7. Discrepancy scores were based on difference scores between the adolescents' versus the partners' reports. Both absolute disagreement and direction of disagreement (i.e., over- or underestimation relative to the relationship partner) were examined. Self-reported symptoms of depression and mother-reported aggression were assessed in Grade 7, 8, and 9. Absolute disagreement in perceptions of warmth between adolescents and best friends was significantly related to higher baseline levels of aggression. No significant effects of discrepancy scores on growth curves of symptoms of depression and aggression were found. The results may suggest that it is more important for adolescents to develop positive perceptions of close relationships than to agree with partners on the quality of the relationship.

“…Given the substantial sibling influences in child and adolescent externalizing behaviors, an important avenue of future research will be to address how sibling factors can be incorporated into prevention and intervention efforts [42, 43]. A recent program titled Siblings are Special (SAS)[45] has the long-term goal of reducing siblings’ risk for maladjustment and substance use.…”

Externalizing disorders and environmental risk: mechanisms of gene–environment interplay and strategies for intervention

Summary Though heritable, externalizing disorders have a number of robust associations with several environmental risk factors, including family, school, and peer contexts. To account for these associations, we integrate a behavioral genetic perspective with principles of a developmental cascade theory of antisocial behavior. The major environmental contexts associated with child externalizing problems are reviewed, as are the processes of gene-environment interplay underlying these associations. Throughout, we discuss implications for prevention and intervention. Three major approaches designed to reduce child externalizing behavior are reviewed. Prevention and intervention programs appear to be most successful when they target individuals or communities most at risk for developing externalizing disorders, rather than applied universally. We end by commenting on areas in need of additional research concerning environmental influences on persistent externalizing behaviors.

“…Aquí se observa que aquellos que están solos en AR mantienen sus puntuaciones estables, mientras que los que tienen hermanos en el hogar muestran un patrón mucho más variable, con mayores porcentajes tanto de empeoramiento como de mejora. Este resultado podría indicar que a estas edades se es más sensible a la influencia de los hermanos, y que en algunos casos esa influencia es positiva y en otros negativa (Defoe et al, 2013;Leichtentritt, 2013;Linares, 2006).…”

“…Y esta agresión entre hermanos parece ser bastante habitual entre los que son acogidos juntos (Linares, 2006). En una línea parecida, Defoe et al (2013) encontraron que tener hermanos mayores con problemas de conducta es un factor de riesgo para que los hermanos menores también los tengan.…”

Palabras clave:Protección infantil Acogimiento residencial Hermanos Evaluación de objetivos r e s u m e n Dentro del sistema de protección infantil, cuando existen grupos de hermanos se recomienda mantenerlos juntos cuando son acogidos. El objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar si mantener a los grupos de hermanos juntos en acogimiento residencial es beneficioso y en qué aspectos. La muestra está compuesta por 167 niños y adolescentes que vivían en hogares de protección, de los que 105 (62.9%) estaban con hermanos y 62 (37.1%) estaban solos. Se analizó la evolución de las puntuaciones en la escala mensual de observación de objetivos del SERAR (Del Valle y Bravo, 2007). Los resultados indican que, en general, los que están con los hermanos obtienen más ventajas que los que están solos, adaptándose mejor al contexto residencial. No obstante, cuando las estancias se alargan demasiado empeora la interacción social dentro de la residencia en los grupos de hermanos. Estos resultados se discuten en relación a la investigación previa y a sus implicaciones prácticas. a b s t r a c tWithin the child welfare system, when groups of siblings are placed in residential care it is recommended to keep them together. The goal of this work is to verify whether keeping groups of siblings together in residential care is beneficial. The sample was made up of 167 children and adolescents who lived in supervised homes; 105 (62.9%) were with siblings and 62 (37.1%) were alone. We analyzed the evolution of their scores on the monthly goal observation scale of the SERAR (Del Valle & Bravo, 2007). The results indicate that, in general, children who are with their siblings obtain more benefits than children who are alone, especially in the dimensions of the residential setting. Nevertheless, when stays are too long, social interaction within the residence worsens in the groups of siblings. These results are discussed with regard to prior research and its practical implications.
