The purpose of this study was to investigate family-demographic variables (sibling status, maternal attitude and demographic variables) affecting sibling sociability and peer sociability. Mothers and teachers of 291 kindergarten children were sampled. Specifically, 206 children of two-child families were studied by sibling status to investigate differences in sociability among siblings. Factor analysis, F-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple-analysis of variance were conducted. Sibling sociability and peer sociability were affected by sibling status. Maternal attitude and sibling sociability were positively correlated. The important family-demographic variables for both sibling sociability and peer sociability were maternal affective attitudes and sex of child.
