| Abstract: | The objective of this study was to determine the differential effects of Peer tutoring (PT) and Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in reduction of delinquent behaviour among secondary school adolescents in Bayelsa State. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. Quasi-experimental research design was used for the study. A sample of sixty-seven (67) students in senior secondary school (SS1 and 11) was identified as delinquent (drug addiction) using the Delinquent Behaviour Scale (DBS). They were randomized into four non-equivalent groups, three experimental and one control group. The experimental groups were treated with peer tutoring, cognitive behaviour therapy and a combination of peer tutoring and cognitive behaviour therapy for six weeks while the control group received no treatment. The instrument for data collection which was adapted and used for the study was the Leed Dependency Questionnaire developed by Raistrick, Bradshaw, and Tober (1994). The instrument was validated by test experts and the reliability was established using Cronbach alpha with 0.89 for DBS and 0.84 for Addiction subscale (AS). Data collected were analyzed with mean, standard deviation, and two-way analysis of variance. Results revealed that female students in the group taught with PT had a reduced drug addiction based on their posttest mean scores, Also, male students in the group taught with CBT had a reduced drug addiction. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) should intensify its anti-drug campaigns using peer tutoring and cognitive behaviour strategies to ensure a drug addiction-free society with a special focus on the students because they are our future leaders. |
