Abstract
As part of a longitudinal study of sibling and friend interactions, we examined children’s onlooker behavior with siblings and with friends at ages 4 and 7. At both ages, interaction partner (sibling/friend) and sibling status (older/younger) made a difference in the amount of time spent in onlooker behavior.
