Sibling relationship is one of long lasting relationship in most of the people’ss lives and one of the most important ones. Siblings may be particularly likely to influence each other’s behaviour positively or negatively. While a variety of family characteristics are recognized as risk factors for adolescent behaviour problems, the role of siblings has received much less attention. Thus, a sibling specific risk factor may operate across the family and peer domains during adolescence, making sibling influences on behaviour problem a vital area for research and prevention efforts. So, an attempt was made to study the sibling relationship and the influencing factors on sibling relationship among adolescents. The population for the study comprised of 192 school children from 5th to 10th grade where 96 students from urban and rural areas were drawn equally from Dharwad and Bagalkot districts of Karnataka. For the present study, the permission was sought from Block Education Officer and the Heads of the schools were contacted and permission was taken for conducting the study. From each class, based on teacher’s nomination, both high and low achievers were taken for the study. Sibling relationship questionnaire was used to assess the relationship status of siblings among adolescents. Socioeconomic status was also assessed using Socio-economic status scale. Multivariate analysis and regression analysis indicated that there was significant interactional effect of age, gender and sibling constellation on the dimensions of relative status/power, sibling closeness, and sibling conflict and sibling rivalry. Sibling spacing also had a major impact where the siblings with less than one year spacing had lesser sibling relationship. Academic achievement influenced sibling relationship indicating better relationship among high academic achievers. With regard to familial factors, it was observed that mother’s education was positively correlated with sibling relationship indicating better relationship among students with mothers having higher education. On the other hand, parents’ occupation also had an impact where adolescents with parents working in public sector were said to have higher sibling relationship. However, family type was not associated with sibling relationship. Socio-economic status was also affecting sibling relationship among urban sample which was found that adolescents from lower income group had lower sibling relationship as opposed to high socio-economic group. This indicates that those influential factors which are found to lower the relationship status need to be corrected through educative programmes for adolescents and parents to enhance sibling relationship and reduce the problem behaviours among adolescents.Keywords

To examine the individual and contextual characteristics impacting the quality of child care environment of young children and its influence on language development, a sample of 112 infants and toddlers of 6 to 36 months and their caregivers were drawn from urban and rural areas of Dharwad district. Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale (ITERS) was used to rate home environment as well as Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) centers and Bayley-III (2006) was used to assess language development of young children. The observations of caregiver and child's interaction, quality of environment provided was observed in child's homes and day care centers. The findings revealed that almost half of infants who were reared in urban homes had average quality (53.33%) of home environment while 30 per cent had high quality, but 16.66 per cent parents had low quality. The young children below three years who were sent to day care centers in urban locality were in centers with average quality (45.45%) of environment and almost equal proportion (27.27 %) were in low and high quality centers. Most of the young children in rural homes had low quality home environment (46.66 %) while 43.33 per cent had average quality and only 10 per cent had high child care quality. The regression analyses revealed that quality of home (R2 = 0.45) and day care environment (R2 = 0.48) predicted child's language development of young children. Higher quality of home/center environment predicted better social skills and lower quality lead to lower social and emotional skills of young children. Gender, child's age at entry into center, caregiver's temperament, sensitivity and education had a mediating role on language development of infants. Thus there is a need to invest in high quality child care environment in both home and center. So, parents/caregivers need to be educated to enhance the quality of environment.Keywords
