Abstract
Relationships with a close friend and a younger sibling were investiga ted in 30 first-born young children. Greater positive affect and recip rocity were found between friends than between siblings. Limited suppo rt for the consistency of individual differences in relationship quali ty across friend and sibling dyads was also revealed. Implications for child development and future research are discussed.
