To test study predictions, correlations were used to examine the relationships between resilience factors and the adjustment and caregiving variables. Results of the correlations are summarised in Table 3. Given the presence of five sibling pairs and potential problems with the non-independence of data, the correlations were conducted with the complete sample and again with one sibling of each of the five pairs removed. There was no substantive change to the pattern of significant correlations; hence, the correlations performed on the full sample are presented
