A collection of data from 26 pairs of young adolescent siblings (aged 8–15 years) who participated in a custom-made interactive Virtual Reality experiment and completed questionnaires. It examines the validity of VR for assessing aggressive responses towards a sibling, comparing observed VR aggression with self-, parent-, and sibling-reported measures. The study also analyzes associations with individual, sibling, and family risk factors.
Use Cases
- Analyze the congruence between observed aggression in the VR experiment and self-reported aggression measures.
- Examine associations between observed VR aggression and the perceived quality of the father-child relationship.
- Investigate whether individual factors like behavioral problems correlate with aggression observed in the VR scenarios.
- Compare aggression metrics from the VR experiment with parent-reported and sibling-reported aggression data.
- Study the relationship between sibling factors, such as age difference, and aggressive responses in the VR environment.
Strengths
- Data from 26 sibling pairs provides a foundation for analyzing within-family dynamics.
- Includes a multi-method assessment combining a custom VR experiment with questionnaire data.
- Focuses on a specific age range (8–15 years) for studying adolescent sibling aggression.
Limitations
- Small sample size of 26 sibling pairs limits statistical power and generalizability of findings.
- The VR experiment's validity is primarily compared to self-report, with limited alignment to parent and sibling reports.
- Geographic and demographic scope of the participant sample is not specified, potentially limiting representativeness.
