Sibling relationships as a subject of psychological research
Abstract
In modern science, sibling relationships are understood as relationships between siblings. The foundations of the psychology of siblings were laid in the works of A. Adler and F. Galton, in which the leading role for the formation of individual psychological characteristics was given to the position of the child in the family - the order of his birth. Based on the order of birth, there are several family positions of siblings: the youngest, middle child, eldest child, only child, etc., they can vary depending on gender, age, age difference. The subject of research in this work is sibling relationships and their psychological characteristics. As scientific methods, a review of classical approaches to the problem of siblings and sibling relationships, an analysis of modern psychological research, a discussion and generalization of the results were used. The results of the study indicate that sibling relationships as an independent subsystem of the family stand out if several children are being raised at the same time and this form of relationship is closely related to child-parent and marital relationships. The conclusions of the work note that the discussed trends in psychological characteristics, formed depending on the child’s family position and the form of his relationships with other siblings, are probabilistic in nature and can vary based on the social, cultural-historical situation and many other factors.
