The primary aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which friend and sibling relationship quality jointly contribute to children's behavioral adjustment. Preschool-aged children (N = 52) were observed separately with a friend and an older sibling during a free-play session and a sharing task. Mean comparisons indicated that friendship dyads, on average, engaged in more complex social play and more intense conflict (but only during free play), whereas sibling dyads were characterized by greater asymmetry. Few friend-sibling associations emerged. Friend and sibling relationship quality in the sharing task together accounted for a significant portion of variance in parent-reported aggressive-disruptive behavior, and a Sibling x Friend interaction indicated that greater relationship quality with one partner buffered children from poor behavioral adjustment when relationship quality with the other partner was low or moderate. Implications for preventive intervention efforts are discussed.
本研究的主要目的是考察朋友关系和兄弟姐妹关系质量共同对儿童行为调适产生影响的程度。在自由玩耍环节和分享任务中，分别对学龄前儿童（N = 52）与一个朋友和一个哥哥或姐姐进行了观察。均值比较表明，平均而言，友谊二元组参与更复杂的社交游戏且冲突更激烈（但仅在自由玩耍期间），而兄弟姐妹二元组的特点是不对称性更强。几乎没有出现朋友与兄弟姐妹关系的关联。分享任务中朋友关系和兄弟姐妹关系质量共同解释了家长报告的攻击破坏性行为中很大一部分方差，并且一个兄弟姐妹×朋友的交互作用表明，当与另一伙伴的关系质量较低或中等时，与一个伙伴的关系质量越高，越能缓冲儿童行为调适不良的影响。文中讨论了对预防干预措施的启示。
