Family Dynamics and Young Children's Sibling Victimization

Type
Summary

Sibling aggression is a common form of family violence, therefore it is important to examine its risk factors. Caregivers of 2-9 year old children were interviewed in this study about sibling aggression and family dynamics (i.e., interparental conflict, family violence, and parenting quality). Results emphasized the importance of good family dynamics on preventing sibling victimization.
