Objective: To investigate the influence of COVID-19 epidemic on the panic mentality of first-born children in sibling families, so as to provide basis for the education of coping with crisis events for different types of children, and promote the positive and healthy development of children’s psychology and behavior. Methods: In this study, the method of random sampling was adopted. The self-compiled questionnaire on Children’s Panic Behavior and Sib Relationship Quality during the Epidemiological Period was distributed through the Questionnaire APP in early March 2020. 219 children’s families in Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces were selected as the subjects, and an online survey was carried out. Results: 70.80% of the children did not show anxiety, panic, anger and other negative emotions lasting more than 5 minutes, and only 0.40% of the children had more than 5 times of negative emotions per day. There is a very significant difference between the children of the only child and the children of the non-only child family in the problem of worry P <0.01. First-born children in sibling families during the epidemic had a significant positive correlation with sibling friendliness (P = 0.049 <0.05). Children’s main concern about not being able to go out to play was positively correlated with sibling conflict (P <0.01), and the interaction with siblings was significantly positively correlated (P = 0.013 <0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between sibling conflict and children’s tendency to ask when to stop staying indoors (P = 0.023 <0.05), during the period of epidemic prevention and control, children would listen to adults carefully to talk about prevention and control knowledge and friendship with their compatriots showed extremely significant positive correlation (P = 0.001 <0.01), and there was a significant positive correlation between knowledge of disease prevention and control and sibling friendship (P = 0.015 <0.05). Conclusion: 1) The epidemic caused a small number of children to have negative emotions lasting more than 5 minutes. Most of the children would still be closed for a long time, showing the worry and panic for friends, classmates, school, virus infection and other aspects. 2) During COVID-19, the first-born child of a sibling family was more worried and frightened than the only child. 3) There are significant gender differences in the impact of COVID-19 on the panic psychology of first-born children, with female first-born children showing more worry and panic than male first-born children. 4) There is a significant positive correlation between panic and worry of first-born children and sibling friendliness, and panic and worry of first-born children can promote the improvement of sibling-relationship quality.
