According to recent psychological research, people with sisters tend to show higher levels of happiness and optimism, and lower levels of loneliness compared to those without sisters. The sister relationship has been identified as a protective factor for mental health that extends beyond simply being a family member and lasts throughout one’s life.
Researchers explained the positive effects of having a sister through emotional support, enhanced empathy and problem-solving skills, reduced loneliness, and roles as role models and caregivers. Sisters help facilitate emotional expression through conversation and provide psychological comfort during stressful situations. It was also found that having a sister helps individuals learn to respect others’ emotions during conflicts, and reduces feelings of depression and isolation during both adolescence and adulthood. Older sisters tend to play a protective role, while younger sisters offer warmth and energy, together strengthening family bonds.
In particular, twin sisters were found to have even stronger emotional bonds, which significantly contribute to emotional resilience and long-term emotional stability. Experts noted that while people without sisters can still grow up well, the sister relationship provides a unique emotional support system, and the quality of sibling relationships has a lasting impact on lifelong mental health.
