- Abstract
-
This study examined the mediating effect of parent–child relationships in the link between parental strategies for handling sibling conflict and sibling relationships. We conducted a survey of the parents of 1,368 children who had siblings and were enrolled in kindergarten, using the Child-Centered Scale, the Control Scale, the Nonintervention Scale, the Sibling Relationship Scale, and the Parent–Child Relationship Scale. The results showed that control, child-centered, and nonintervention strategies for handling sibling conflict each predicted sibling relationships, and parent–child relationships partially mediated the impact that the strategies had on sibling relationships. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
