Answer to Question 1

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.
