Abstract

Research on sibling dynamics and their outcomes in married adults is limited. The primary objective of this study was to assess how relationships with same and different-sex siblings explain the state of wellness and marital satisfaction in adulthood. Furthermore, the study aimed to evaluate the effects of early childhood sibling relationships on adult well-being and to assess the meditative role of adult sibling relationship characteristics on this effect. A total of 344 married adults participated in the study, 237 of whom (68.9%) were women. The Adult Sibling Relationship-Short Form (ASRQ-SF), Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale (LSRS), Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI), and Wellness Scale for Emerging Adults (WSEA) indices were used to assess study variables. Results indicated that intimacy between different-sex siblings (brother-sister) predicted marital satisfaction. Furthermore, conflict between same-sex siblings (sister-sister) and intimacy between different-sex siblings (sister-brother, brother-sister) predicted wellness. Additionally, recalled childhood sibling relationship characteristics had significant effects on wellness and that sibling relationship characteristics in adulthood partially mediated this relationship. These results are considered within the framework of sibling relationship development within Turkish culture.

土耳其已婚成年人的兄弟姐妹动态、婚姻满意度和健康状况

对已婚成年人兄弟姐妹动态及其结果的研究有限。这项研究的主要目的是评估同性和异性兄弟姐妹的关系如何解释成年后的健康状况和婚姻满意度。此外，该研究旨在评估幼儿兄弟姐妹关系对成人幸福感的影响，并评估成人兄弟姐妹关系特征对这种影响的冥想作用。共有344名已婚成年人参与了这项研究，其中237人（68.9%）是女性。使用成人兄弟姐妹关系简表（ASRQ-SF）、寿命兄弟姐妹关系量表（LSRS）、夫妻满意度指数（CSI）和新兴成年人健康量表（WSEA）指数来评估研究变量。结果表明，不同性别的兄弟姐妹（兄弟姐妹）之间的亲密关系可以预测婚姻满意度。此外，同性兄弟姐妹（姐妹）之间的冲突和不同性别兄弟姐妹（姐弟、兄妹）之间的亲密关系预测了健康。此外，回忆起的童年兄弟姐妹关系特征对健康有显著影响，成年后的兄弟姐妹关系特点在一定程度上介导了这种关系。这些结果是在土耳其文化中兄弟姐妹关系发展的框架内考虑的。
