How does marital conflict negatively impact sibling relationships?
What will be an ideal response?
In general, siblings are much more likely to get along if their parents get along (Kim et al., 2006; Reese-Weber, 2000). Marital conflict and dissatisfaction is a very good predictor of jealousy and antagonistic sibling interactions. This is especially true if the older sibling has a shaky, insecure relationship with either or both parents, and if the parents rely heavily on power assertive discipline (Erel, Margolin, & John, 1998; Volling, McElwain, & Miller, 2002). Marital conflict may put children on edge emotionally and contribute directly to emotional insecurity (Cummings et al., 2006). Parental use of power assertion may communicate to a more powerful older sibling that forceful strategies are the way one deals with people (particularly smaller, less powerful ones) who displease them.
