Abstract

This study explores the relationship between sibling conflict and parental loss. Logistic regression analysis of the first wave of the National Survey of Families and Households ( n = 8,654), indicates that respondents who have experienced the death of at least one parent and those who have a parent in ill-health are more likely to report that they do not get along well with a sibling. Older respondents, African Americans, Hispanics, and respondents in good or excellent health are less likely to have conflict with a sibling. Sibling conflict may have serious consequences for the exchange of sibling support in old age. Implications of these findings for research, practice, and policy are discussed.
