## Abstract Variation in attention problems in children and adolescents from nonβclinical samples is highly heritable. It is unknown how attention problems develop later in life and whether the heritability in the general adult population is the same as in children and adolescents. We assessed the

β¦ Synopsis
The nature of joint attention (JA) engagement of 32 sibling pairs (M age older siblingβ=β55.21βmonths; M age younger siblingβ=β19.60βmonths) was assessed in a free play context. Relations among JA engagement states, both siblings' age, temperament, and language, and older sibling theory of mind were explored. The frequency of coordinated JA was related to features of temperament of both the younger siblings (emotionality) and the older siblings (activity level and sociability). Younger siblings' age was significantly related to siblings' engagement in coordinated JA, whereas the older siblings' age and theory of mind correlated with the frequency of passive JA engagement. Implications regarding the role of partner characteristics in young sibling JA interactions will be discussed. Copyright Β© 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
