Abstract

This short case series aimed to explore whether and how an intervention with a cognitive component changed parental attributions about child behaviour and parents' reports of their own behaviour. The results suggest change in parental attributions, coded using the Leeds Attributional Coding System (LACS), was associated with Problem score changes on the Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory (ECBI). Changes in parents' reports of their own behaviour were associated with Intensity score changes on the ECBI. However, the changes were in both positive and negative directions. The results call for more understanding of the mechanisms involved in change in parental attributions.
