Abstract: Associations between the Big Five personality traits and quality of sibling relationships were examined. Second, gender differences concerning these two concepts and their intercorrelations were examined. Dutch children (N = 354), ranging in age from 11 to 14 years, and siblings (N = 54), ranging in age from 9 to 18 years, participated in this study. The children completed several questionnaires, measuring the Big Five personality traits (QBF) and the quality of the sibling relationship (SRQ). Results showed significant negative associations between agreeableness, conscientiousness and emotional stability and conflict in the sibling relationship. Furthermore, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience were positively associated with warmth in the sibling relationship. Finally, compared to girls, boys reported higher levels of conflict in the sibling relationship and lower levels of warmth in the sibling relationship. Findings highlight the importance of identifying the complex ways in which varying dimensions of personality traits influence specific aspects of the sibling relationship. Implications of these results are discussed, as well as suggestions for follow-up studies.
