Agressief gedrag in conflicten tussen broers en/of zussen: Verbanden met de kwaliteit van de broer-zus relatie en de kwaliteit van de ouder-kindrelatie

Master thesis | Education and Child Studies (MSc)

The current study examined to what extent the quality of the sibling relationship and the quality of the parent-child relationship is linked to aggressive behavior between siblings during conflicts. In addition, it was examined whether the quality of the parent-child relationship would moderate the relation between the quality of the sibling relationship and aggressive behavior between siblings during conflict. These relations were examined with a sample of 26 families, of which two siblings aged 8-15 years old and one parent participated. The amount of aggressive behavior during conflicts between siblings, quality of the sibling relationship and the quality of the parent-child relationship were measured by questionnaires. The results of this study showed a negative relation between the sibling relationship quality and aggressive behavior during conflicts between siblings, a positive relation between the quality of the sibling relationship and the quality of the parent-child...Show moreThe current study examined to what extent the quality of the sibling relationship and the quality of the parent-child relationship is linked to aggressive behavior between siblings during conflicts.

The quality of the parent-child relationship did not act as a moderator for the relationship between the quality of the sibling relationship and the degree of aggressive behavior in conflicts between siblings. These results indicate a possible indirect role of the parent-child relationship quality in the degree of aggressive behavior in conflicts between siblings.Show less
