Birth order, history, and roles are developed as these different “families” interact. Birth order is naturally determined unless there is fostering or adoption (formal or informal). Family history is uniquely interpreted by each individual because each person is in a different life stage, as well as a different family. Roles develop and change as families’ circumstances evolve.

Family size and birth order proved to influence childhood experience in one specific way: therapists who grew up in large (4–12 child) families were significantly more likely to have been Wounded and less likely to have felt Nurtured than those who grew up in smaller families.26 The same applied to therapists who were middle-children, who of course mostly belonged to large families.

Consequently, we should take birth order and gender of the children into account in our analyses of dyadic interactions (parent-child) in extended families. Attending to these variables may help avoid confounds between family size effect and effects of other characteristics of family environment, such as parental educative attitudes.

Children. The mothers reported having children between the ages of two and five years (M = 3.74; SD = 0.99). Table 1 displays the proportion of children in each age group. The size of the two-year old group was significantly smaller than the other three age groups [χ2(3, n = 238) =22.7, p < .001]. There were significantly more boys (n = 131, 53.9%) than girls (n = 97, 39.9%) [χ2(1, n = 162) =6.3, p < .01] (15 participants did not indicate their child’s sex). The children were either an only child or had a maximum of 10 siblings (M = 2.9; SD = 1.9). Birth order of the children was approximately balanced; 33.9% were first born, 35.3% were in the middle and 30.8% were a last child. A total of 66% of the children were reportedly enrolled in either public or private preschool. The children appeared to spend most of their time with their parents or siblings, and occasionally with grandparents, live-in nannies or other relatives like aunts.
“It’s Just the Abuse that Needs to Stop”: Professional Framing of Sibling Relationships in a Grounded Theory Study of Social Worker Decision Making following Sibling Sexual Behavior
Published in Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 2020
Whilst there has been a growing psychological literature on the nature of sibling relationships since the early work of Bank and Kahn (1982) and Dunn and Kendrick (1982), a sociology of siblinghood remains under-developed (White & Hughes, 2018). Tabor (2016) has summarized the extant sociological literature as focusing on how siblings describe their own relationships, resulting in a typology of sibling relations as intimate, congenial, loyal, apathetic, or hostile; factors influencing outcomes for individual children, such as birth order, birth spacing, and family size; and the changing nature and value of sibling relationships at different life stages. What is largely missing from this literature is a clear understanding of the wider societal ideals and expectations of sibling relationships.
