This study evaluated sibling effects of a family-based intervention aimed at preventing conduct problems in preschool-age siblings of adjudicated youths. Ninety-two families of preschoolers who had older siblings adjudicated for delinquent acts were randomly assigned to intervention and control conditions. Of these, 47 families had nontargeted school-age (5-11 years) or adolescent siblings (12-17 years) living at home. These families were considered in this report. The authors hypothesized group differences on antisocial behavior and positive peer relations for older siblings of targeted preschoolers. The authors examined outcomes of parent- and teacher-reported behavior immediately postintervention and 8 months postintervention. Findings revealed significant intervention effects 8 months following intervention for adolescent siblings on parent-reported antisocial behavior and positive peer relations. Teacher reports confirmed group differences for antisocial behavior immediately postintervention. Findings document benefits for adolescent siblings.
本研究评估了一项基于家庭的干预措施对已被判定有罪青少年的学龄前兄弟姐妹行为问题的预防效果。92个有被判定有犯罪行为的哥哥姐姐的学龄前儿童家庭被随机分配到干预组和对照组。其中，47个家庭有未被纳入干预对象的学龄儿童（5 - 11岁）或青少年兄弟姐妹（12 - 17岁）在家居住。本报告纳入了这些家庭。作者假设针对学龄前儿童的哥哥姐姐，干预组和对照组在反社会行为和积极同伴关系方面存在差异。作者在干预后即刻以及干预后8个月检查了家长和教师报告的行为结果。研究结果显示，干预8个月后，青少年兄弟姐妹在家长报告的反社会行为和积极同伴关系方面有显著的干预效果。教师报告证实了干预后即刻两组在反社会行为方面存在差异。研究结果证明了该干预措施对青少年兄弟姐妹有益。
