Parental academic comparisons of siblings and adolescent well-being: A longitudinal study from Taiwan
Dr. Chen is a part of the team that has recently published “Parental academic comparisons of siblings and adolescent well-being: A longitudinal study from Taiwan” in Family Relations. This study examined how parental academic comparisons between siblings relate to adolescents’ well-being using longitudinal data from 1,464 Taiwanese adolescents aged 15–18. Nearly three quarters reported some comparison. Frequent perceived comparisons were associated with poorer mental health and more aggressive behavior, particularly among females. However, these associations became nonsignificant after accounting for family relationships and self-esteem, suggesting they may explain these links.
