TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Sibling death and adult maladjustment indices: a brief report JO - Journal of loss and trauma A1 - Haugen, Alek E. A1 - Preszler, Jonathan R. A1 - Cookman, Matthew L. A1 - King, Alan R. SP - 265 EP - 274 VL - 21 IS - 4 N2 - While symptoms of grief pose the most immediate psychological concern in the aftermath of sibling death, emerging research suggests that distal correlates may include strained interpersonal relations and externalized forms of psychological distress. College students with a history of Sibling Loss (n = 36), Parental Loss (n = 32), or No Loss (n = 367) were compared on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Sibling Loss was associated with higher Psychopathic Deviate (Pd; d =.62) and Hypomania (d =.42) scores. The relative risk (RR = 2.96) of a Pd elevation (T > 65) was higher after sibling death.
