Studies Say Having A Sisters Makes You A Better Person TRUE OR FALSE

[MzKittyKath]

Are you a good person? Well, you may have your sister to thank for that!

Turns Out All Those Fights Over Borrowing Clothes And Whose Taking Too Long In The Shower May Have Paid Off.

 

“Even after you account for parents’ influence, siblings do matter in unique ways,†Researcher Laura Padilla-Walker, of Brigham Young University in Utah, told NBC News. “They give kids something that parents don’t.â€

 

 

 

Studies Show That Having A Sister Can Help You To Better Resolve Conflicts, Improve Mental Health, And Be More Empathetic And Nurturing Amongst Other Things.

 

“They help you develop social skills, like communication, compromise, and negotiation,†says Alex Jensen, assistant professor in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University and the author of research into sibling relationships, said according to 

Huffington Post

. “Even sibling conflict, if it is minor, can promote healthy development.â€

Having A Sister Can Also Help With Your Mental Health. A 2010 Study Found That Having A Sister Can Prevent You From “Feeling Lonely, Unloved, Guilty, Self-Conscious, And Fearful.â€

“What we know suggests that sisters play a role in promoting positive mental health, and later in life they often do more to keep families in contact with one another after the parents pass,†Jensen said.

 

 

“Even if there is a little bit of fighting, as long as they have affection, the positive will win out,†Padilla-Walker explains. “If siblings get in a fight, they have to regulate emotions. That’s an important skill to learn for later in life.â€

 

Research Also Found Out That Brothers With Sisters Are Better At Communicating With Women Since They’ve Had Some Practice.

 

 

“Some research suggests that having a sibling who is a different gender from you can be a real benefit in adolescence,†Jensen said. “Many of those sibling pairs become closer during the teen years because they become good sources of information about the opposite sex.â€

 

Research Stressed The Importance Of Making Sure That Your Kids Do Work Out Their Conflicts In A Positive Way And Generally Get Along.

 

“For parents of younger kids, the message is to encourage sibling affection,†Padilla-Walker said. “Once they get to adolescence, it’s going to be a big protective factor.â€

False. I feel like since my sister was born, I have gotten worse, but I am working on it.

[MMeRRedVVelvet]

i think half true and half false i going better or worse im not sure

[evermore]

False, my brother is the living proof 

[Soogi]

definitely true for me. i'll never admit it irl but im grateful for my sisters, even tho they sometimes make my blood boil

[Mr. Phoenix]

Having a dog makes you a better person - a sister...I’m not so sure.

Great article

[kythestar]

i wanna say it's partially false.

i grew up with both a brother and a sister.

and each weigh in on their own accounts.

but what does that make of children who are an only child then?

[Kalii]

I agree with this

I've done so much for my brother throughout the years. Making sure he went to school looking presentable, cooking for him, spending hours helping him study/with homework, and driving him and his crusty friends around so often. He definitely had it easy. 

 

lol I never thought us fighting would make him a better person though

[Meiqi's Maid]

False, my brother is the living proof

I'm an only child, but I've turned out well. People say I'm nice and intelligent, and if anything, I'm better off without a sibling, because I usually would rather be alone and I get more stuff. There are those that consider me lucky.

hm okok, thanks for your insight!

since i grew up with siblings i can't imagine being an only child.

i mean i could since i rather would be alone and do my own thing, but my sister always comes and drags me into our siblings hangout lol.

but anyways i have heard it's lucky when you get more stuff!

True. And I understand where you're coming from. I'm sometimes lonely from not having one, but I'm still in one piece.

that's good to know!!

at least friends and pets and other things help with that. ^^

[kuonjiranma]

I guess I agree as I have a sister and am awesome, so the math checks out

[Mayumi]

I am the oldest girl out of 14 sibling and I have a lot of younger brothers and sisters. I also have a twin brother, so I was never an only child growing up.

 

I never really fought with my siblings growing maybe over toys, but that was when we were kids. Also my me and my step sister we share everything. We also do everything together. Because my mom married her dad like a long time ago we basically grew up together. And it also help that we are the same age and just a week apart.

 

And also 6 of my younger siblings have not reach even reach middle school age yet, so it be ridiculous of me a 25y.o to actually fight with them.

[Haêra]

False

[cake mf]

Nahhhhhh I know bitches with sisters. Actually most bitches I know have sisters.

[kookiestealer]

True, I'm very close with my sister. 

[i'm not your anti]

If this is true, I'm an absolutely terrible person.

[Oli London]

Mostly false.

That is a lie. I felt all those things.

 

 

“Even if there is a little bit of fighting, as long as they have affection, the positive will win out,â€

 

My family isn't affectionate so that's probably why this shit is false for me.

 

My mental health has always been shitty and same for some of my siblings~ At least we are decent people.

 

 

 

I have one side of the fam that is all boys. Science needs to explain why most of them are douchebags, or is it because they're male? Some deserve some jail time!

[joyvelvet.]

It works for some people but not all. So true for some people, false for some other people.
