This study examined the extent to which 205 sibling dyads influenced each other during conflict. Data were collected between 2013 to 2015. The sample included 5.9% Black, 15.1% South Asian, 15.1% East Asian, and 63.8% White children. Older siblings were between 7–13 years old (Female = 109) and younger siblings were 5–9 years old (Female = 99). Siblings' conflict resolution was analyzed using dynamic structural equation modeling. Modeling fluctuations in moment-to-moment data (20-s intervals) allowed for a close approximation of causal influence. Older and younger siblings were found to influence one another. Younger sisters were more constructive than younger brothers, especially in sister–sister dyads. Sibling age gap predicted inertia in older siblings. Socialization processes within sibling relationships are discussed.

兄弟姐妹会互相影响吗？兄弟冲突期间发生的解包过程

这项研究调查了 205 个兄弟姐妹在冲突期间相互影响的程度。数据收集于 2013 年至 2015 年间。样本包括 5.9% 的黑人儿童、15.1% 的南亚儿童、15.1% 的东亚儿童和 63.8% 的白人儿童。年长的兄弟姐妹年龄在 7-13 岁之间（女性 = 109），弟弟妹妹年龄在 5-9 岁之间（女性 = 99）。使用动态结构方程模型分析了兄弟姐妹的冲突解决。对瞬时数据（20 秒间隔）中的波动进行建模允许对因果影响进行近似。人们发现哥哥姐姐和弟弟妹妹会互相影响。妹妹比弟弟更有建设性，尤其是在姐妹姐妹关系中。兄弟姐妹的年龄差距预测了哥哥姐姐的惰性。讨论了兄弟姐妹关系中的社会化过程。
