Abstract
This study tested the degree to which antagonism and shared family identity sequentially mediate the association between differential parental treatment (DPT) and relational outcomes in the sibling relationship (i.e., closeness and satisfaction). Participants included 329 young adults who completed online questionnaires concerning their parents’ treatment of them and their siblings. When the participant was the recipient of DPT, three distinct indirect effects emerged for both relational outcomes. When the target sibling was perceived to be the recipient of DPT, however, only sibling antagonism and the antagonism to shared family identity pathways mediated the relationship between DPT and both relational outcomes.
