Previous research has established that positive sibling relationships can be protective against peer bullying and general family conflicts, as well as improving self-esteem and development, but significantly less attention has been given to the situation when these relationships are not positive, specifically with bullying between siblings. Despite being viewed as a ‘normal’ part of growing up, the consequences of sibling bullying can be as harmful as that of peer bullying, if not more, and it is necessary to understand and address the problem. The current scoping review assesses the existing research on sibling bullying, with attention to what is currently known and what is yet to be understood. Four databases were searched, and 45 papers were identified and synthesised. Much of the literature was conducted in Western countries, with a focus on self-reported protective and risk factors. Moreover, much of the research has identified surface-level characteristics of sibling bullying, with limited explanation for why these issues arise. This scoping review highlights and discusses these findings and provides recommendations for further research.

先前的研究已经证实，积极的兄弟姐妹关系可以防止同伴欺凌和一般家庭冲突，并提高自尊和发展，但对于这些关系不积极的情况，特别是兄弟姐妹之间的欺凌，人们的关注要少得多。兄弟姐妹。尽管被视为成长的“正常”部分，兄弟姐妹欺凌的后果可能与同伴欺凌一样有害，甚至更严重，因此有必要了解并解决这个问题。当前的范围审查评估了有关兄弟姐妹欺凌的现有研究，关注目前已知的和尚待理解的内容。检索了 4 个数据库，识别并综合了 45 篇论文。大部分文献都是在西方国家进行的，重点关注自我报告的保护因素和风险因素。此外，许多研究都确定了兄弟姐妹欺凌的表面特征，但对这些问题出现的原因解释有限。本范围界定审查强调并讨论了这些发现，并为进一步研究提供了建议。
