Sisters spread happiness while brothers breed distress, experts believe.
Researchers quizzed 571 people aged 17 to 25 about their lives and found those who grew up with sisters were more likely to be happy and balanced.
The University of Ulster said having daughters made a family more open and willing to discuss feelings.
"Emotional expression is fundamental to good psychological health and having sisters promotes this in families" Professor Tony Cassidy, lead researcher
During the study, participants filled in psychological questionnaires which researchers used to a range of issues, including whether they had a positive outlook and any mental health problem.

This is an interesting issue for me because I also observe that whenever a boy have brother majority is friendly and happier than single or boys only. From what stated above the girl/lady and woman are good in express their self with word or even through emotion. I also have a small sister which 4 year's old younger then me but we always share our secret between each other ... I also not pretty sure why .. but maybe this is the law of relationship.
