The influence of the family environment on personality: Accounting for sibling differences.
Why Are Siblings So Different? The Significance of Differences in Sibling Experiences Within the Family
Even though siblings share 50% of their genes and grow up in the same family, personalities and mental health vary drastically between people. These differences are often influenced by factors such as birth order, age, gender, and each sibling's unique experiences. Research shows that these differences are not just about genetics but are also shaped by nonshared environmental influences—the unique situations and experiences each sibling goes through within the family.
Research directly examining siblings shows how family dynamics and individual experiences shape who they become. Small things, like how parents treat each child or the kinds of friends they have, can have a big impact on their development.
This research helps us understand why siblings can turn out so differently even though they grew up together. It shows how both individual traits and unique experiences play a role in shaping their personalities and behavior, giving us better insight into family life and how people grow and change.
