Relationship among sibling acceptance,interpersonal trust and resilience in first-born children
Objective:To explore the relationship among sibling acceptance,interpersonal trust and resilience in first-born children.Methods:A total of 715 first-born children aged 12 to 14 years were selected to evaluate sib-ling acceptance,interpersonal trust,psychological resilience and emotional regulation strategies with the Sibling Ac-ceptance Scale,Children's Generalized Trust Beliefs,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Emotional Regulation Questionnaire,respectively.The relationship among sibling acceptance,interpersonal trust,resilience and emotional regulation strategies was analyzed.Results:Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CGTS scores of first-born children were indirectly associated with sibling acceptance scores through resilience scores(β=0.34,P<0.01).The ERQ cognitive rerating scores were negatively associated with resilience scores under the influence of interpersonal trust score(β=-0.23,P<0.001),and ERQ expression inhibition scores were positively associated with sibling acceptance score under the influence of resilience scores(β=0.29,P<0.001).Conclusion:Sibling acceptance is indirectly associated with interpersonal trust under the mediating effect of resilience.Emotional regula-tion strategies indirectly affect first-born children's interpersonal trust and sibling acceptance under the influence of resilience.
