Discuss the research on sibling sexual contact
What will be an ideal response?
Greenwald and Leitenberg (1989) found that among a sample of college students, 17% reported having sibling sexual contact before age 13 . Only a small percentage involved force or threat, and penetration was rare. Research on sexual contact between siblings suggests that it can be psychologically damaging when there is a large difference between the ages of siblings or coercive force is used (Finkelhor, 1980; Rudd & Herzberger, 1999).
