Abstract

Sibling relationships in adolescence provide rich and relevant socializing opportunities for developing early adult romantic relationships, but much less is known regarding the effect of siblings on future romantic partnerships. Using a prospective, longitudinal design, we investigated the association between observed positive behaviors (warmth, support, positive communication), sibling pairs during adolescence (7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades), and the same observed behaviors between adult romantic partners nearly two decades later (M age = 31 years old). In structural equation models (SEMs), we tested four dyadic pathways of interest: (1) individual behavioral continuity; (2) evocative partner effects; (3) sibling modeling; and (4) sibling-to-partner matching. In multiple group analyses, we also investigated gendered socialization effects for different sibling dyads (i.e., brother-brother; sister-sister; and mixed-sex sibling pairs). Results showed strong continuity from adolescent behavior toward their sibling to the same behavior toward their romantic partner in early adulthood, but there was no evidence for sibling modeling effects nor for sibling matching. We also found significant differences between sister-sister sibling dyads compared to brother-brother and mixed-sex sibling dyads for the evocative pathway. Findings highlight the "long view" of positive adolescent behavior in sibling relationships for shaping future romantic partnerships in adulthood.

从青春期的兄弟姐妹关系到成年后的恋爱关系的行为路径。
青春期的兄弟姐妹关系为成人早期恋爱关系的发展提供了丰富而相关的社交机会,但人们对兄弟姐妹关系对未来恋爱关系的影响却知之甚少。我们采用前瞻性纵向设计,调查了青春期(七年级、八年级、九年级和十年级)观察到的积极行为(温暖、支持、积极沟通)、兄弟姐妹配对与近二十年后(平均年龄 = 31 岁)成年恋人之间观察到的相同行为之间的关联。在结构方程模型(SEMs)中,我们测试了四个感兴趣的配对途径:(1) 个人行为的连续性;(2) 伴侣的唤起效应;(3) 兄弟姐妹模型;(4) 兄弟姐妹与伴侣的匹配。在多组分析中,我们还研究了不同兄弟姐妹组合(即兄妹、姐妹和异性兄弟姐妹组合)的性别社会化效应。结果显示,从青少年时期对其兄弟姐妹的行为到成年早期对其恋爱伴侣的行为具有很强的连续性,但没有证据表明存在兄弟姐妹模型效应或兄弟姐妹匹配效应。在唤起途径方面,我们还发现姊妹兄弟姐妹组合与兄妹兄弟姐妹组合和异性兄弟姐妹组合之间存在明显差异。研究结果凸显了青春期在兄弟姐妹关系中的积极行为对于塑造成年后的恋爱关系的 "长远意义"。

期刊介绍: Multidisciplinary and international in scope, the Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA) significantly advances knowledge in the field of adolescent research. Employing a diverse array of methodologies, this compelling journal publishes original research and integrative reviews of the highest level of scholarship. Featured studies include both quantitative and qualitative methodologies applied to cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development and behavior. Articles pertinent to the variety of developmental patterns inherent throughout adolescence are featured, including cross-national and cross-cultural studies. Attention is given to normative patterns of behavior as well as individual differences rooted in personal or social and cultural factors.
