Prospective associations among parent-adolescent acceptance and familism values in early and middle adolescence and sibling intimacy in late adolescence and young adulthood were assessed in 246 Mexican-origin families. Older sibling gender and sibling gender constellation were investigated as moderators of these associations. Sibling intimacy was stable over time and younger siblings with older sisters reported higher levels of sibling intimacy than those with older brothers. As predicted, stronger familism values were associated with greater sibling intimacy, but this link was evident only for older sisters and for girl-girl dyads. The links from mother- and father-acceptance to sibling intimacy also depended on the gender constellation of the sibling dyad: Higher levels of maternal warmth were associated with greater sibling intimacy for older sisters and girl-girl sibling pairs but higher levels of paternal warmth were linked to greater sibling intimacy only for older siblings in mixed-gender sibling dyads. Findings are consistent with prior research on the role of gender in family relationships but extend this work to encompass the effects of both parents' and siblings' gender, as well as the role of sociocultural values in parents' socialization influences.
在246个墨西哥裔家庭中，研究人员评估了青少年早期和中期亲子接纳与家庭主义价值观之间的前瞻性关联，以及青少年晚期和青年期的手足亲密关系。研究调查了年长手足的性别和手足性别组合对这些关联的调节作用。手足亲密关系随时间推移较为稳定，有姐姐的弟弟妹妹报告的手足亲密程度高于有哥哥的弟弟妹妹。正如预期的那样，更强的家庭主义价值观与更高的手足亲密程度相关，但这种联系仅在姐姐以及姐妹组合中明显。母亲和父亲的接纳与手足亲密关系之间的联系也取决于手足二元组的性别组合：更高水平的母亲温暖与姐姐和姐妹手足对的更高手足亲密程度相关，但更高水平的父亲温暖仅与混合性别手足二元组中的年长手足的更高手足亲密程度相关。研究结果与先前关于性别在家庭关系中的作用的研究一致，但将这项工作扩展到涵盖父母和手足性别的影响，以及社会文化价值观在父母社会化影响中的作用。
