Abstract
A study was undertaken investigating the efficacy of a Triple p Level 4 individual programme on the stealing and lying behaviour of preadolescent boys. Parents were required to continuously record stealing and lying instances throughout the duration of the study. Mothers also completed self-report measures used in standard Level 4 Triple P interventions (e.g., Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale, and Parenting Sense of Competence Scale). Results of the study suggest that early intervention for families whose children exhibit covert antisocial behaviours is beneficial in the reduction of those behaviours. Maternal self-report showed that most measures showed improvements, with marked improvements shown in depression scores.
