An intervention-prevention research project that addressed family life and sibling relationships during middle childhood.
Project Overview
Research indicates an associated pattern of antisocial behavior and outcomes among siblings. The Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study (SIBS) was a prevention-intervention research project that addressed family life and sibling relationships during middle childhood years. The project explored the effectiveness of intervention with siblings in reducing family conflict and boosting the social and academic development of older target children and a younger brother or sister. The project worked with families referred by county mental health services that included sibling pairs or triads who were between the ages of 4 and 10.
