问题     Boys and girls who grow up without siblings(兄弟姐妹)are no less capable of developing good social skills than those raised with brothers and sisters, new research indicates. The observations stem from an analysis involving more than 13,000 middle school and high school students conducted by a team of researchers at Ohio State University.
    "I don’t think anyone has to be concerned that if you don’t have siblings, you won’t learn the social skills you need to get along with other students in high school," study co-author Donna Bobbitt-Zeher, an assistant professor of sociology on OSU’s Marion campus, said in a news release from the American Sociological Association.
    "As family sizes get smaller in industrialized countries, there is concern about what it might mean for society as more children grow up without brothers and sisters," Bobbit-Zeher said. "The fear is that they may be losing something by not learning social skills through interacting with siblings."
    The current analysis used interview data collected by the National Study of Adolescent Health that concerned children in grades 7 through 12 who were enrolled at more than 100 schools across the United States between 1994 and 1995. The interviews were used to assess popularity by asking the kids to list up to five male and five female friends, and then calculating the number of "votes" each participant got overall.
    The authors found that students were "nominated" an average of five times by their peers, and that voting was not influenced by the presence of siblings, irrespective of gender or whether sibling status(full, step, half, or adopted). Parental age, race and socio-economic status also appeared to have no impact on the question of siblings and social skill development.
    "In every combination we tested, siblings had no impact on how popular a student was among peers," Bobbit-Zeher noted. The authors theorize that even without siblings to help them learn interactive skills, children can avail themselves of the lessons of the schoolyard. "Kids interact in school, they’re participating in extracurricular activities, and they’re socializing in and out of school," observed Bobbin Zeher. "Anyone who didn’t have that peer interaction at home with siblings gets a lot of opportunities to develop social skills as they go through school."  [br] The result of the voting shows that the presence of siblings has ______ on students who are popular among peers.

解析 此题是文章第5段第1句的同义改写，对比后不难发现，空格处待填的内容对应着文章中的was notinfluenced by，而空格前后已给出了has和on，故用词组has no effect／impact on为佳。
