How do brothers and sisters shape one another? Siblings in Adolescence provides a comprehensive overview of the most up-to-date, international empirical research on the sibling bond during the critical adolescent years. The authors examine how the relationship impacts on adolescent development, as well as the effect on and within the family, using evidence from behaviour genetics, cross-cultural studies, and research utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods.

The book presents a multi-faceted dynamic view of the adolescent sibling relationship, drawing on perspectives from sociological, psychological, and ecological and systems science. It introduces a novel theoretical perspective which covers sibling dynamics across various key environments such as their families, communities, and cultures. Parents and siblings will also find useful coverage of the following issues:

Siblings in Adolescence will be indispensable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying human development, and will supplement postgraduate courses for teachers, counsellors, and social, youth, and health workers. It will also be required reading for all those who work and do research with families and young people.

Die aktuelle Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs Jugendforschung beschäftigt sich im ersten seiner Schwerpunkte mit der Bedeutung der Jugendphase für die spätere Erwachsenenbiografie. Auf der Basis von – teilweise mehrere Jahrzehnte umspannenden – Längsschnittstudien wird empirisch der Frage nachgegangen, wie aussagekräftig Daten aus der Jugendphase tatsächlich für das spätere Leben als Erwachsener sind. Während mit Blick auf die Jugend in der Öffentlichkeit immer wieder problematisches Verhalten Jugendlicher – wie etwa Gewalt, Alkohol oder Risikoverhalten – akzentuiert wird, setzt das Jahrbuch Jugendforschung in seinem zweiten thematischen Schwerpunkt einen Kontrapunkt zu dieser Debatte, indem es sich explizit mit erfolgreichen Jugendlichen auseinander setzt. Hierzu gehören u. a. (hoch-)begabte Jugendliche, oder Jugendliche, die trotz schwieriger Ausgangsbedingungen hohe Bildungserfolge erreichen.

In der ersten Ausgabe 2001 hatte das Jahrbuch namhafte JugendforscherInnen gebeten, über den Stand und die Zukunft der Jugendforschung nachzudenken. In der aktuellen Ausgabe, 10 Jahre danach, nehmen einige der damaligen AutorInnen dazu erneut Stellung.
