Lesson 32: Siblings and Friends - Slide 9
Siblings Are Different
- Siblings who grow up together are almost as different in their personalities as if they were strangers
- Siblings differ for 2 fundamental reasons:
- They share on average only half of their genes
- Most of the environmental influences
affecting siblings are not shared
- This is true of the experiences children
have outside the family and of
those occurring within the home
