Abstract

In recent years, with the implementation of China’s “comprehensive two-child” policy, the number of two-child families has increased. As one of the most enduring and inevitable social relationships in an individual’s life course, sibling relationships have a significant impact on individual development and family stability. Types of sibling relationships include warm sibling relationships, conflictual sibling relationships, and relationships where warm and conflictual sibling relationships coexist. The influencing factors of its formation and development include individual factors, family factors, and social factors. Existing research often focuses on the impact mechanism of a single factor, such as parent-child relationships or sibling age gaps, while exploration of multi-factor interactions remains insufficient. This paper attempts to explore the interaction of various influencing factors at the individual, family, and social levels based on existing literature. Future research should incorporate the characteristics of Chinese culture for localized studies; Further reveal the interaction between different influencing factors of sibling relationships and their mechanisms, and construct a systematic model of influencing factors for sibling relationships.
