This qualitative study examined the impact of traditional Iranian cultural norms, bi-cultural adaptation, parental acculturation, and religious influence on opposite-sex sibling relationships among first-generation Iranian-American young adults. A generic qualitative approach was utilized, and the researcher conducted 12 individual interviews comprised of six Iranian-American opposite-sex sibling pairs with an age gap of five years or less. Eight themes were determined following coding of responses and encompassed findings related to bi-cultural adaptation, exposure of Iranian norms, degree of parental acculturation, integration of traditional Iranian gender roles, religious involvement, and sibling relationship qualities. The results varied across all themes except 'Generational Differences with Parents,' which was endorsed weakly by all participants, or interpreted as having minimal generational differences with their parents. The most significant endorsements were prevalent for theme 'Presence Iranian Culture,' where 10 of 12 participants implicated exposure to traditional Iranian cultural practices moderately and strongly. Cultural factors including gender norm expectations and personal characteristics appeared to impact the quality of sibling relationships to varying degrees, however all participants indicated a desire to maintain or improve their sibling bonds. Lastly, limitations, clinical implications, and future research proposals including geographical diversification of the participant pool and creating a survey to quantitatively explore the themes identified in the present study were discussed.
