Abstract: | |||||
Sibling relationships differ from other relationships, in that they change in different
stages of an individual's life. Sibling relationships are affected by various factors such
as gender, age gap between siblings and number of siblings in a family. Whether
positive parent-child relationships contribute to positive sibling relationships, or
whether sibling relationships can compensate for parent-child relationships is still
controversial and debatable. Parent-child relationships in relation to sibling
relationships were explored in this research. Various studies have suggested that
siblings influence each other's social and cognitive development. However, most of
these studies have focused on sibling relationships in infancy. Siblings may also
influence on each other in adolescence. This study focuses on sibling relationships in
adolescence. In Hong Kong, siblings tend to study in the same school. The effects of
siblings studying in the same school were also explored in this study. This study aims
at studying sibling relationships in adolescence, understanding the factors influencing
these relationships, and exploring how these relationships influence siblings' learning.
