Line 4:
A '''sibling''' is a relative that shares at least one [[parent]] with the subject. A [[male]] sibling is a [[brother]] and a [[female]] sibling is a [[sister]]. A person with no siblings is an [[only child]].
While some circumstances can cause siblings to be raised separately (such as [[foster care]]), most societies have siblings grow up together. This causes the development of strong [[human bonding|emotional bonds]], with siblinghood considered a unique type of relationship unto itself. The emotional bond between siblings is often complicated and is influenced by factors such as parental treatment, [[birth order]], [[Personality psychology|personality]], and personal experiences outside the family.<ref name="psychtoday">{{cite magazine |author=Mersky Leder, Jane |url=http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-19930101-000023.html |title=Adult Sibling Rivalry |magazine=Psychology Today |date=Jan–Feb 1993 |access-date=November 28, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121211220721/http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-19930101-000023.html |archive-date=December 11, 2012 }}</ref>
