“…The role of sibling constellation on career choice has not been examined directly, and the tangential evidence leads to no clear prediction. Rosenberg and Sutton-Smith (1971) found that girls' gender roles were more affected by other family members, while boys' were determined by standards outside the home. These same researchers proposed that children reinforce characteristics typical of their own gender in their siblings; for example, girls with brothers expressed more interest in recreational activities involving strategy and physical skill than did girls with sisters.…”

“…Older children, being bigger and stronger, may also be expected to exert control over their younger siblings which might interfere with parental effects. Older siblings have been found to serve as models (Brim, 19S8;Rosenberg & Sutton-Smith, 1964), for example, and while there is no evidence that sibling models reduce the effectiveness of parent models, the experimental finding by Bandura, Grusec, and Menlove (1967) suggests that this may often happen: Children were found to reject an adult model's stringent standards of self-reward in favor of a peer model's more lenient standards.…”

“…A variety of authors have shown that the absence of an identification figure can interfere with the development of sex-appropriate behaviour in the child (Biller, 1970;Hetherington, 1972;Rutter, 1972;Santrock, 1977;Santrock & Warshak, 1979). Generally, boys with sisters and no brothers under mother custody are more deleteriously affected by maternal custody than boys with brothers (Rosenberg & Sutton-Smith, 1971; Santrock, 1970).…”

“…The absence of relationship with the same sex adult during the years in which the child's sex-role identity develops (3 to 5 years) may retard the development of sexappropriate behaviour, but there is no reason why this rolemodel needs to be the child's biological parent (Biller, 1971;Rutter, 1972). The presence of same-sex siblings can mitigate the deleterious effects of the absent role-model (Rosenberg & Sutton-Smith, 1971). Both Rosen (1979) and Vess, Schwebel, & Moreland (1983) were unable to find negative effects of single parenting 6 to 10 years later, on children's adjustment or sex-role self-concept.…”
