Sibling Rivalry Scale Test

Parents, caregivers, and adults supporting a child can use the Sibling Rivalry Scale Test to explore how an older brother is perceived in everyday family life. It is suited to reflection when warmth, admiration, competition, or resentment need clearer language. Responses about cooperation and sharing give this sibling rivalry test a starting point for conversation, observation, and supportive attention.

What This Assessment Explores

The questionnaire explores how a child may relate emotionally and socially to an older brother. The statements present situations involving pride, admiration, friendship, praise, respect for the brother’s activities, household cooperation, and sharing. Separately, the displayed scale interprets the overall response pattern as jealousy toward an older brother.

The result contains one displayed dimension:

• Degree of Jealousy Toward Older Brother (0-100) reflects jealousy toward an older brother; higher percentages indicate stronger rivalry and jealous attitudes. Low jealousy is 0-30, Moderate jealousy is 31-60, and High jealousy is 61-100. Scores above 60% are described as particularly unfavorable for the family’s psychological climate and may call for added attention or relationship correction.

Focused on an older brother, this sibling jealousy test describes the response pattern as a tendency rather than a fixed quality of the child.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each item is a direct yes-or-no self-report statement about a possible response to an older brother. The format covers admiration, friendship, praise, restraint, cooperation, and generosity. Interpretation depends on the overall pattern, not one answer in isolation.

The displayed result is a percentage assigned to one named band. Because the questionnaire does not state how many points each answer contributes, a detailed scoring formula should not be inferred. Its content stays close to family interactions, asking about pride, friendship, praise, restraint, chores, complaints to parents, and sharing with an older brother.

Its content is conceptually consistent with Yigen’s 2005 assessment study on sibling jealousy, the PSRS described by Ata-Akturk and Demircan (2018), and jealousy-complex findings from Volling, McElwain, and Miller (2002). The resemblance is conceptual only: this questionnaire is neither an adaptation nor a validated reproduction of those instruments.

In practical use, this sibling rivalry questionnaire can make family patterns easier to discuss. Recent events, mood, self-awareness, and the wish to appear kind can affect answers, so weigh the result with observation and conversation, not as a diagnosis.
