This study was designed to determine whether Adlerian-style interviews of Mexican American family members would support the general stereotypes commonly presented in the research literature. Interviews were conducted with members of 32 intact Mexican American families (64 parents, 123 children) from two church parishes. The interviews focused on perceptions of sibling roles, alliances among family members, and family management. A chi-square analysis of the data revealed that siblings perceived females as socially more cooperative and also tended to perceive sex-based alliances among family members. Parents did not seem to make choices on the basis of the sex of the family member. The results raise several questions about the prevalent literature on Mexican Americans but appear consistent with research on the American family in general
