Prolegomenon to the Study of "Brother" as a Male Family Role.
Arkin, William
Family Coordinator, v28 n4 p630-37 Oct 1979
Directs the reader to sibling gender relationships. Patterns of intimacy in brother-brother and brother-sister relationships are identified. Masculine gender role patterns were expressed more frequently than classic sibling rivalry. Sisters, not mothers, were discovered to be the primary socializing agent for some of men's intimate relationships with women. (Author/BEF)
