<p><br><br>------------------------------------------------------<br>Reviewer A:</p>
<p>O manuscrito analisa a influência da comunicação parental sobre a relação fraterna, oferecendo uma contribuição oportuna, nova e significativa à psicologia interamericana ao abordar a relação entre irmãos, aspecto ainda pouco explorado na literatura. O artigo expande a compreensão teórica, empírica e prática sobre esta temática, encorajando novos estudos e a utilização dos resultados nas atuações profissionais.</p>
<p>O artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa empírica com metodologia quantitativa, o que se enquadra à questão de pesquisa. No entanto, alguns aspectos merecem revisão:</p>
<ul>
<li>As técnicas de amostragem, coleta sistemática de dados e análise de dados são apropriadas para o estudo, porém, na seção “participantes”, é informado que a amostra foi de 209 adolescentes, porém, adiante na seção “Análises Estatísticas Realizadas”, informou-se que foram eliminados alguns participantes após limpeza da base de dados com o objetivo de verificar e eliminar os <em>missings values </em>e <em> Os autores deveriam informar quantos casos foram eliminados nesta etapa e confirmar o total de casos analisados, se foram os 209 e aí não estão computados os casos excluídos ou se restaram menos casos de um total de 209 iniciais.</em></li>
<li>Os dados suportam as descobertas e as descobertas são contextualizadas à luz da literatura anterior, porém sugere-se revisão com relação à <em>Análise diferencial da comunicação parental em função da escolaridade dos adolescentes, pois este resultado não é analisado do ponto de vista da escolaridade, mas da idade dos adolescentes, conforme estejam vivenciando a adolescência inicial ou média. Neste caso, sugere-se que a comunicação parental seja analisada com relação à idade e não à escolaridade, ou que se discuta este resultado com base nas diferenças de escolaridade entre os adolescentes.</em></li>
</ul>
<p>O manuscrito fornece informações que serão úteis para a atuação da psicologia com adolescentes e famílias. Implicações para a prática profissional são mencionadas ao final do artigo, assim como indicações de questões para pesquisas futuras.</p>
<p>Com relação à Revisão de Literatura, o artigo revisa criticamente a literatura relevante e demonstra uma compreensão do conhecimento atual relacionado ao tópico abordado, formulando a questão de pesquisa.</p>
<p>Com relação à escrita, o manuscrito necessita de algumas revisões, sobretudo com relação a reformulação de parágrafos de frase única, como por exemplo o primeiro do artigo.</p>

<blockquote>O manuscrito oferece importante contribuição científica, embasada em relato empírico sustentado por amplo e atual referencial teórico.<br>O trabalho amplia a compreensão sobre a temática tratada, e além disso, aponta informações relevantes para a prática psicológica.<br>Alguns pontos do trabalho precisam ser revistos: o resumo, assim como a introdução, não apresentam claramente o desenho metodológico da pesquisa; a metodologia não apresenta a justificativa para a seleção da amostra relacionada com o objetivo do trabalho e não explicita a ordem temporal da execução dos procedimentos, e nem quem os executou</blockquote>
