  • Lying prevalence tended to decrease with age.
  • Lying was significantly associated with delinquency, theft, and fighting across all grades.
  • Correlations between lying and problem behaviors were stronger in older boys.
  • Children who lied often came from families with poor maternal supervision, rejection, and parental conflict or separation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Age influences lying prevalence and its association with problem behaviors.
    • Family environment significantly impacts children's propensity to lie.
    • Interventions should consider age-specific factors and family dynamics.
