Older Sibling Prosocial Behavior Toward Younger Siblings During Adolescence
Adolescence is a time of increasing propensity to engage in prosocial behaviors toward family, with more recent work showing this proclivity toward siblings specifically. Sibling warmth and constructive problem-solving have been shown to promote adolescent well-being in several domains, but their contribution to adolescent prosocial decision-making towards siblings is unclear. Using multi-informant multi-methods data from 45 adolescent sibling pa…
Intolerance of uncertainty, psychopathology, and emerging adult sibling relationships
Intolerance of uncertainty is often associated with emerging adult psychopathology, including depression, anxiety, and substance use behaviors. However, positive sibling relationships, which are known to support emerging adult mental health during stressful periods, may mitigate the stress related to uncertainty. Thus, this study investigated the role that sibling relationships may have between uncertainty and psychopathology. In a two-cohort lon…
Sibling problem-solving as a mediator between sibling closeness and social motivations
Social motives, such as social admiration, prosocial behavior, and sociability, become increasingly important for emerging adults as they transition into adulthood and must establish their identity and relationships with others. Sibling relationships may assist in this process as closeness between siblings can improve emerging adults’ abilities to problem solve, which serves as a useful skill in social settings. Sibling birth order may also influ…

Identifying the role of siblings in adolescent decision‐making
Adolescence represents a period of opportunity in decision‐making as developmental motivations and processes shift, particularly in social contexts. Sibling relationships may be especially influential in adolescent decision‐making, as siblings spend a disproportionate amount of time with one another and can affect how adolescents think, feel, and behave. However, the ways in which siblings may shape adolescent decision‐making through psychologica…
Behavioral pathways from sibling relationships in adolescence to romantic partnerships in adulthood
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), a…
The protective role of siblings in sexual diverse emerging adult well-being
Close sibling relationships can serve as a salient source of support, particularly for individuals navigating stressors associated with emerging adulthood and minoritized identities. Using attachment theory and the temporal intersectional minority stress model as guiding frameworks, mixed-methods data were collected from 939 emerging adult college students to examine the role that siblings play in sexually diverse individual well-being. Sexually …
The Effect of Parents and Peers on the Neural Correlates of Risk Taking and Antisocial Behavior During Adolescence
Differential Behavioral and Neural Profiles in Youth With Conduct Problems During Risky Decision‐Making
Neuroimaging work has examined neural processes underlying risk taking in adolescence, yet predominantly in low-risk youth. To determine whether we can extrapolate from current neurobiological models, this functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigated risk taking and peer effects in youth with conduct problems (CP; N = 19) and typically developing youth (TD; N = 25). Results revealed higher real-life risk taking, lower risky decisions,…
Where You Lead, I Will Follow
This exploratory study examined whether social learning increases similarity in adolescent siblings' behavior and neural patterns during risky decision making. Participants included 86 adolescents (43 sibling dyads; younger siblings: M age = 12.2 years; 22 females; older siblings: M age = 14.6 years; 20 females) who completed questionnaires, and a decision-making task during an fMRI scan. Younger siblings became more similar to their older siblin…
Sibling Warmth Moderates the Intergenerational Transmission of Romantic Relationship Hostility
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate sibling support as a buffer against the intergenerational transmission of romantic relationship hostility.BackgroundParental marital discord in adolescence negatively affects romantic relationships in adulthood. Given that sibling support is linked to positive outcomes in adolescence and adulthood, the current study investigated sibling support as a protective factor against romantic relationsh…
Maternal Buffering of Adolescent Dysregulation in Socially Appetitive Contexts
Adolescents are more susceptible to dysregulation in positive social contexts, compared to children. We investigated whether maternal presence would buffer these effects in adolescence. Fifty-four adolescents and children (age range = 8-17 years, M age = 13.38 years) completed a social go-nogo task during an fMRI scan alone and in the presence of their mother. We found age-related patterns, such that older relative to younger youth displayed more…
Do Hostile School Environments Promote Social Deviance by Shaping Neural Responses to Social Exclusion
The present study examined adolescents' neural responses to social exclusion as a mediator of past exposure to a hostile school environment (HSE) and later social deviance, and whether family connectedness buffered these associations. Participants (166 Mexican-origin adolescents, 54.4% female) reported on their HSE exposure and family connectedness across Grades 9-11. Six months later, neural responses to social exclusion were measured. Finally, …
Developmental Change in Sibling Support and School Commitment Across Adolescence
School commitment typically declines across adolescence, but the family-level factors that explain this decline have not been fully characterized. This study investigated sibling support as a family resource in predicting school commitment across 7th-10th grade using a sample of 444 adolescents (M ages = 12.61, 13.59, 14.59, 15.58 years). Results showed that sibling support linearly increased and school commitment decreased and stabilized, indepe…
The Role of Siblings and Psychological Needs in Predicting Life Satisfaction During Emerging Adulthood
Life satisfaction during emerging adulthood is important because it promotes positive psychological functioning and prevents risky behaviors that lead to poor health. Self-determination theory emphasizes the agentic nature of individuals to maintain well-being through the psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and the social contexts which influence these processes. Because siblings serve as an emotional resource throughout…
