Sibling Rivalry Scale Test

Anyone reflecting on family dynamics can use this questionnaire to consider how an older sister is imagined within a sibling relationship. The Sibling Rivalry Scale Test focuses on attitudes expressed through admiration, closeness, sharing, cooperation, and willingness to avoid complaints or interruption. For self-reflection, this sibling rivalry test provides a focused result rather than a complete account of family life.

What This Assessment Explores

The questions present ordinary situations involving an older sister, including taking her as an example, praising her to parents, respecting her homework, helping with chores, and sharing desirable things. The questionnaire examines the emotional position behind these imagined actions, so the older sister jealousy test reflects more than one isolated behavior.

The result is organized around one catalogue-defined dimension:

• Jealousy Toward Older Sister (0-100) measures the child’s level of jealousy toward an older sister. Low covers 0-30, Moderate covers 31-60, and High covers 61-100; higher percentages indicate more pronounced rivalry and jealous attitudes, while scores above 60% are described as particularly unfavorable and potentially linked with significant relationship difficulties.

The item themes describe situations and attitudes, while the displayed scale supplies the interpretation of the resulting tendency. A higher result therefore follows the catalogue’s definition, even when individual prompts describe cooperation, admiration, or generosity.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each prompt uses a direct first-person statement with a Yes or No response. This format asks the respondent to choose between two clear positions instead of rating intensity or explaining circumstances. The questionnaire’s scoring procedure is presented through the displayed percentage-style result; no item-level weighting or reverse-scoring procedure is stated for this online version.

The item themes are conceptually consistent with Dunn and Kendrick’s (1982) treatment of affection, envy, and understanding between siblings, but the questionnaire is not an adaptation of that published work. Research by Volling, McElwain, and Miller (2002) places jealousy within the emotional context of sibling relationships, while Furman and Buhrmester (1985) and Dunn (1983) describe qualities and developmental features relevant to sibling interaction.

The result provides a structured sibling relationship assessment of the tendency defined by this questionnaire, rather than a complete profile of family dynamics. Because it relies on self-report and imagined situations, answers may reflect current mood, memory, social desirability, or limited self-awareness. The online version has no stated norms or standardization, so its bands organize reflection rather than establish clinical thresholds. It is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnostic measure.
