Abstract

This study investigates whether sibling autonomy support enhanced goal progress, psychological need satisfaction, and subjective well-being. A five-wave prospective longitudinal study was conducted. The effects of sibling support demonstrated high goal progress, need satisfaction, and well-being. The beneficial effect on well-being was mediated by enhanced goal progress and need satisfaction.
