Why is it important?
The methodological method introduced in this paper can help researchers more fully understand family relationships, and should become one of the essential tools used when studying large families.
Perspectives
This paper summarizes how I think about the network of sibling relationships in large families. After studying many groups of adult siblings, I found that the group dynamic is very important to some families and I encourage other researchers to use this methodology to further explore this dynamic.
