Parents' management of their children's sibling relationships, or sibling-focused parenting, has substantial theoretical and practical importance but is rarely studied. This study's goals were to describe dimensions of sibling-focused parenting and to examine sociocultural resources and challenges as potential correlates among Latinx mothers and fathers in 262 families with two children in middle childhood. Families were recruited from 11 public elementary schools, and caregivers (248 mother figures; 118 father figures) participated in a home visit and phone interviews at the onset of the study. Sibling-focused parenting included three dimensions: positive guidance (10 items), nonintervention (four items), and authoritarian control (five items). Parents rated positive guidance as their most frequent strategy, and comparisons of mothers and fathers from the same families revealed that mothers engaged in more sibling-focused parenting overall than fathers. Regarding correlates, mothers' familism values and mothers' and fathers' family cohesion reports were associated with more positive guidance and mothers' cohesion was negatively related to nonintervention in sibling conflicts. For mothers only, parenting stress was linked to all three dimensions of sibling-focused parenting-negatively to guidance and positively to authoritarian control and nonintervention; maternal depressive symptoms were positively linked to authoritarian control. Economic hardship was not a significant correlate of any dimension. Findings suggest that sibling-focused parenting is a key domain of parenting in need of further research.

童年中期拉丁裔家庭兄弟姐妹的养育。

父母对孩子兄弟姐妹关系的管理，或以兄弟姐妹为中心的养育，具有重要的理论和实践重要性，但很少有人研究。本研究的目标是描述以兄弟姐妹为中心的养育方式的各个维度，并研究 262 个有两个童年中期孩子的家庭中拉丁裔母亲和父亲之间潜在相关的社会文化资源和挑战。从 11 所公立小学招募家庭，护理人员（248 名母亲角色；118 名父亲角色）在研究开始时参加了家访和电话采访。以兄弟姐妹为中心的教养方式包括三个维度：积极引导（10项）、不干预（4项）和独裁控制（5项）。父母将积极引导视为最常用的策略，对同一家庭的母亲和父亲进行比较发现，母亲总体上比父亲更注重兄弟姐妹的养育。关于相关性，母亲的家庭主义价值观和母亲和父亲的家庭凝聚力报告与更积极的指导相关，而母亲的凝聚力与不干预兄弟姐妹冲突呈负相关。仅对母亲来说，养育压力与以兄弟姐妹为中心的养育的所有三个维度都有联系——与指导呈负相关，与专制控制和不干预呈正相关；母亲的抑郁症状与独裁控制呈正相关。经济困难与任何维度都没有显着相关性。研究结果表明，以兄弟姐妹为中心的育儿是需要进一步研究的育儿关键领域。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
