En este trabajo se estudia la influencia de las relaciones fraternas en el desarrollo psicológico de una muestra de escolares (N = 903). El enfoque de la teoría estructural, basada en los descriptors del grupo de hermanos/as (orden de nacimiento, diferencia de edad, tamaño de la familia y sexo) se compara con un nuevo enfoque integrador de la teoría estructural y de la teoría interactiva, la cual se centra en los procesos interactivos del grupo fraterno. No se obtuvieron resultados significativos utilizando el enfoque structural y sí se obtuvieron utilizando el nuevo enfoque. Se encontraron resultados significativos relativos a la adaptación familiar, al autoconcepto y a laspercepciones de las relaciones fraternas.
