Adult Sibling Relationships Research Paper
Table of Contents
Abstract
Relationships between adult siblings are unique in that they are potentially the longest human associations we will experience. Yet research in this arena is lacking; social psychologists have conducted few studies on these long-term bonds. This student finds the complexities of sibling relationships fascinating and attempts to gain greater understanding of them through her study. She designed and administered a survey to enhance awareness about how these relationships evolve and what variables may contribute to close-knit ties. Specifically she attempts to better understand how marriage and proximity affect the adult sibling bond. This student additionally argues that further research is required to deepen the currently scarce body of research.
