Sibling relationships are among one of the most common and significant intimate relationships and, thus, are likely to impact the developmental trajectory of youth. This review investigates this assumption by surveying peer-reviewed articles from 1994 to 2015 regarding sibling relationship quality and its effect on behavioral adjustment and social functioning in children and adolescents. Findings suggest that positive sibling relationship quality measured by high sibling warmth, intimacy and low sibling conflict is associated with low incidences of maladaptive internalizing and externalizing behavior. Similarly, social functioning in youth also seems to be positively affected by levels of high sibling warmth and low conflict. In addition, positive sibling relationship quality also appears to serve as a protective factor by mediating anxiety and distress in response to adverse life events.
