Sibling bullying is the most common form of aggression within family worldwide, while the prevalence and correlations of sibling bullying is little known in China. The current research focused on the association between family factors and sibling bullying among Chinese adolescents, and explore sex differences in sibling bullying in the context of Chinese culture. A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the characteristics of sibling bullying by sampling 6302 children and adolescents who had at least 1 sibling living in the household. Of the participants, 1827 (29.0%) were involved in sibling bullying over the past half year, and pure victims, pure bullies, and bully-victims were 486 (7.7%), 510 (8.1%), and 831 (13.2%), respectively. Family factors of sibling bullying were partly different between boys and girls. Parental absence of both father and mother was a risk factor of being a pure bully and a bully-victim for boys, and of being a pure victim for girls. Parental son preference increased the odds of being a pure victim and a bully-victim for boys, and of being all roles of sibling bullying involvement for girls. Besides, parent-parent violence, parent-child violence, and living with a single parent were risk factors of sibling bullying. The results underline the importance of home environment on sibling relationship, and intervention of sibling bullying should include improving family climate.
同胞欺凌是全球家庭中最常见的攻击形式，而在中国，同胞欺凌的发生率及其相关因素鲜为人知。当前的研究聚焦于中国青少年家庭因素与同胞欺凌之间的关联，并在中国文化背景下探讨同胞欺凌中的性别差异。开展了一项横断面研究，通过对6302名家中至少有1个兄弟姐妹的儿童和青少年进行抽样，以探究同胞欺凌的特征。在参与者中，1827人（29.0%）在过去半年中参与过同胞欺凌，其中单纯受害者、单纯欺凌者和欺凌-受害者分别有486人（7.7%）、510人（8.1%）和831人（13.2%）。同胞欺凌的家庭因素在男孩和女孩之间存在部分差异。父母双方均缺失是男孩成为单纯欺凌者和欺凌-受害者以及女孩成为单纯受害者的一个风险因素。父母重男轻女增加了男孩成为单纯受害者和欺凌-受害者以及女孩参与同胞欺凌所有角色的几率。此外，父母间暴力、亲子暴力和单亲生活是同胞欺凌的风险因素。研究结果强调了家庭环境对同胞关系的重要性，同胞欺凌的干预应包括改善家庭氛围。
