Adolescent sibling relationships in Mexican American families: Exploring the role of familism

Article Abstract:

Adolescents' sibling relationships in two-parent Mexican American families are studied and the connections between sibling relationship characteristics and familism are explored to address a significant gap in the literature on normative processes in minority families. It is found that sibling relationship qualities were linked to familism values and practices, and stronger patterns of association emerged for sisters than brothers.
