Of the sample 96 were singletons, 208 had both a brother and sister, 206 had a brother and no sister, and 198 had a sister and no brother. While the results show that both the gender of the participants and the gender of the sibling seem to impact on distress and its mediators; the more important factor is the gender of siblings. In essence the presence of a female sibling is associated with more perceived support, control and optimism, and with lower pessimism and psychological distress. The presence of a female is also associated with better family relations overall and it is suggested that the main mechanism for this positive impact of female siblings is through the lowered conflict and increased expressiveness and cohesion experienced in female versus male dominated sibling groups.Item Metadata only Further Perspectives in Cognitive Interviewing: New Directions(Walter de Gruyter, 1998) Noon, E.; Boon, J.Item Metadata only Lay knowledge of Eyewitness Behaviour : A British Survey(1987) Noon, E.; Hollin, C.Item Open Access Sibling constellations and wellbeing in intact and non-intact families(Journal of Adolescent Psychology and Psychiatry, 2015) Cassidy, T.; Noon, E.; Wright, Elizabeth JaneBackground: There is little research on the impact of sibling relations on the development of resilience in families experiencing break up. Methods: The role of sex of siblings in family structures was explored in relation to mental health in young adults in a sample of 927 participants (460 males and 467 females), aged 18-21 years old. In addition the potential mediating relationship of family relations, self-efficacy, optimism and social support were added to the mix in order to provide some ex-planatory mechanism for any relationship that might exist. Results: Multivariate analysis of variance and path analysis were used and findings suggest that the presence of a female sib-ling may be a protective factor and may operate through improving family relationships and increasing self-efficacy, optimism, and perceived social support. Conclusions: It is suggested that the sex structure of siblings should be considered in any family focused intervention to improve mental health.Item Metadata only Video Links: their impact on child witness trials(1993) Davies, G.; Noon, E.
