This study aimed to explore the relationship among parental role expectations, the firstborns' sibling jealousy and their role cognition. A sample of 190 two-family firstborns aged 3-7 years old and their parents from China participated in the study by using experimental methods, questionnaires, and interviews. The results showed: (1) Parental role expectations had a significant positive effect on firstborns' role cognition. (2) The dispositional sibling jealousy of the first-born children was positively correlated with their parents' role expectations. (3) Firstborns' role cognition mediated the relation between parental role expectations and episodic sibling jealousy completely. The first-born children were more inclined to perceive themselves as resource contender and experience the episodic sibling jealousy the greater the parental role expectations.
本研究旨在探讨父母角色期望、头胎子女的手足嫉妒与他们的角色认知之间的关系。来自中国的190名3至7岁的双子女家庭中的头胎子女及其父母通过实验法、问卷调查和访谈参与了本研究。结果表明：（1）父母角色期望对头胎子女的角色认知有显著的正向影响。（2）头胎子女的特质性手足嫉妒与父母的角色期望呈正相关。（3）头胎子女的角色认知完全中介了父母角色期望与情境性手足嫉妒之间的关系。父母的角色期望越高，头胎子女越倾向于将自己视为资源竞争者，并体验到情境性手足嫉妒。
