Considerable research has been done on childhood bullying, including its antecedents and consequences. Yet, with all of the attention on bullying, particularly school bullying, sibling bullying has been vastly overlooked. Sibling bullying is a type of violence prevalent in the lives of most children, but little is known about the phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to profile sibling bullying by examining prevalence rates, the extent to which siblings perceive sibling bullying to be normative, and victim-perpetrator differences in perceptions of sibling bullying. Twenty-seven sibling pairs who wrote stories about personal experiences of sibling bullying and victimization completed questionnaires about these experiences and responded to their sibling partners' stories. Of the siblings surveyed, 78% reported being bullied by their sibling and 85% reported bullying their sibling during their childhood. This is far greater than published statistics on peer bullying. Not surprisingly, victims viewed sibling bullying more negatively than perpetrators. Sadly, there was a norm of acceptance of sibling bullying among most of the sibling pairs. Practical implications are discussed.
已经有大量关于儿童欺凌的研究，包括其前因后果。然而，尽管人们对欺凌行为，尤其是校园欺凌行为给予了极大关注，但兄弟姐妹欺凌行为却被严重忽视了。兄弟姐妹欺凌是一种在大多数儿童生活中普遍存在的暴力行为，但对这一现象知之甚少。本研究的目的是通过检查兄弟姐妹欺凌行为的流行率、兄弟姐妹对其规范性的感知程度以及对兄弟姐妹欺凌行为的感知差异，来描绘兄弟姐妹欺凌行为的概况。27 对兄弟姐妹完成了关于个人经历的问卷，并对他们的兄弟姐妹的故事做出了回应。在接受调查的兄弟姐妹中，78%的人报告说被他们的兄弟姐妹欺负，85%的人报告说在童年时期欺负过他们的兄弟姐妹。这远远高于已发表的关于同伴欺凌的统计数据。不出所料，受害者对兄弟姐妹欺凌的看法比加害者更消极。可悲的是，大多数兄弟姐妹都接受了兄弟姐妹欺凌的规范。还讨论了实际影响。
