The separation of men's work from a family setting brings about greater female involvement in ties with relatives. Two specific hypotheses about sibling relationships developed from this laterality hypothesis were tested with data from an urban Finnish sample. The findings were interpreted as indicating the existence of a strong brother-brother tie among children of farmers combined with a sister-dominated communication pattern of the kind typical of sibling relationships in an urban industrial society. In an investigation of the residential dispersion of siblings, a type of migration pattern was inferred to promote the residential proximity of siblings and thereby to preserve sibling ties
