This study investigated associations between sibling relationships and adjustment among 179 African American adolescent siblings (controlling for family factors), and tested moderating effects of familism values and birth order. Two-level random intercept models revealed that familism values moderated sibling relationship-adjustment linkages, suggesting that youth who reported both strong familism values and harmonious sibling relationships showed the most positive outcomes. These effects were more consistent for older than for younger siblings. Findings highlight the role of cultural values and birth order in shaping sibling influence processes.
本研究调查了179名非裔美国青少年兄弟姐妹之间的手足关系与适应情况之间的关联（控制家庭因素），并测试了家庭主义价值观和出生顺序的调节作用。二级随机截距模型显示，家庭主义价值观调节了手足关系与适应之间的联系，这表明那些既报告了强烈的家庭主义价值观又拥有和谐手足关系的青少年表现出最积极的结果。这些影响在年长的兄弟姐妹中比在年幼的兄弟姐妹中更一致。研究结果突出了文化价值观和出生顺序在塑造手足影响过程中的作用。
