Abstract

This study investigated the interplay of parental differential treatment, fairness evaluations, and personality on the sibling relationships of 775 undergraduates. Unequal parental treatment was associated with poorer relationships. Personality shaped perceptions of the fairness of differential treatment as well as the sibling relationship itself.
