title: Fears in African-American sibling and nonsibling pairs.
abstract: Research on the familial relationship of fears among African Americans appears to be non-existent. This study examines the familial relationship of fears among African-American children. Twenty-four African-American sibling pairs ages 6 to 12 years were administered the Revised Fear Survey Schedule for Children. Twenty-four African-American nonsibling pairs matched on age and sex served as controls. Results partially support the hypothesis that a familial relationship exists for African-American children's fears.
