Older nonhandicapped siblings and same-sex younger mentally retarded siblings (n = 16 sibling pairs) were observed in their homes during toy play, snack, and television-viewing, as were an equal number of comparison sibling pairs, matched for age, gender, and family characteristics. Role relationships between mentally retarded children and older siblings were asymmetrical, with older siblings assuming frequent teacher, manager, and helper roles. Older sisters, in particular, participated in frequent teaching. Amount of interaction between siblings was directly related to the contexts in which they were observed. Nonhandicapped siblings engaged each other more as playmates. Interactional correlates of language and adaptive competencies of the mentally retarded children are presented, as are correlations between the age of the siblings and the roles they assume with each other.
在玩玩具、吃零食和看电视期间，对年龄较大的非残疾兄弟姐妹以及年龄较小的同性智力发育迟缓兄弟姐妹（共16对兄弟姐妹）在其家中进行了观察，同时也观察了数量相等、在年龄、性别和家庭特征方面相匹配的对照兄弟姐妹对。智力发育迟缓儿童与年龄较大的兄弟姐妹之间的角色关系是不对称的，年龄较大的兄弟姐妹经常承担教师、管理者和帮助者的角色。尤其是姐姐，经常参与教学。兄弟姐妹之间的互动量与观察他们的情境直接相关。非残疾兄弟姐妹更多地以玩伴的身份相互交往。文中呈现了智力发育迟缓儿童语言和适应能力的互动相关因素，以及兄弟姐妹的年龄与他们彼此所承担角色之间的相关性。
