5. The Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters: Psychometric properties of the Spanish translation in the adolescent population.
By Mndez, Francisco X.; Hidalgo, Mara D.; Ingls, Cndido
European Journal of Psychological Assessment. 18(1), 2002, 30-42.
Analyzed the psychometric properties of the Spanish translation of the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (MESSY; J. L. Matson, A. F.
Rotatori and W. J. Helsel, 1983), a self-report rating scale which assesses the degree of appropriate social behavior. The MESSY was applied to 634 Ss
(aged 12-17 yrs). Exploratory factor analysis isolated 4 factors which accounted for 33.28% of the variance: Aggressiveness/Antisocial Behavior (AAB),
Social Skills/Assertiveness (SSA), Conceit/Haughtiness (CH), and Loneliness/Social Anxiety (LSA). The internal consistency was high. Correlations with
the Assertiveness Scale for Adolescents, the Teenage Inventory of Social Skills, and the Assertiveness Scale for Children and Adolescents, were
statistically significant. Inappropriate social behavior measured with the MESSY correlated positively with the Psychoticism and Neuroticism scales, and
negatively with the Extraversion scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Female Ss obtained lower scores in AAB and in CH, and higher scores in
SSA, displaying greater appropriate social behavior than male Ss. No significant gender differences were found in LSA, the only factor in which a
worsening with age and a significant age interaction was found.
7. Anger regulation in disadvantaged preschool boys: Strategies, antecedents, and the development of self-control.
By Gilliom, Miles; Shaw, Daniel S.; Beck, Joy E.; Schonberg, Michael A.; Lukon, JoElla L.
Developmental Psychology. 38(2), Mar 2002, 222-235. http://www.apa.org/journals/dev.html.
Emotion regulation strategies observed during an age 3 1/2 frustration task were examined in relation to (a) angry affect during the frustration task, (b)
child and maternal characteristics at age 1 1/2, and (c) indices of self-control at age 6 in a sample of low-income boys (Ns varied between 189 and 310,
depending on the assessment). Shifting attention away from sources of frustration and seeking information about situational constraints were associated
with decreased anger. Secure attachment and positive maternal control correlated positively with effective regulatory strategy use. Individual differences
in strategy use predicted self-control at school entry, but in specific rather than general ways: Reliance on attention-shifting strategies corresponded with
low externalizing problems and high cooperation; reliance on information gathering corresponded with high assertiveness.
8. Changes in women's assertiveness in response to status and roles: A cross-temporal meta-analysis, 1931-1993.
By Twenge, Jean M.
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 81(1), Jul 2001, 133-145. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
Across two meta-analyses, American women's assertiveness rose and fell with their social status from 1931 to 1993. College women and high school girls'
self-reports on assertiveness and dominance scales increased from 1931 to 1945, decreased from 1946 to 1967, and increased from 1968 to 1993,
explaining about 14% of the variance in the trait. Women's scores have increased enough that many recent samples show no sex differences in
assertiveness. Correlations with social indicators (e.g., women's educational attainment, women's median age at first marriage) confirm that women's
assertiveness varies with their status and roles. Social change is thus internalized in the form of a personality trait. Men's scores do not demonstrate a
significant birth cohort effect overall. The results suggest that the changing sociocultural environment for women affected their personalities, most likely
beginning in childhood.
10. Gender differences in personality traits across cultures: Robust and surprising findings.
By Costa, Paul Jr.; Terracciano, Antonio; McCrae, Robert R.
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 81(2), Aug 2001, 322-331. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
Secondary analyses of Revised NEO Personality inventory data from 26 cultures (N =23,031) suggest that gender differences are small relative to
individual variation within genders; differences are replicated across cultures for both college-age and adult samples, and differences are broadly
consistent with gender stereotypes: Women reported themselves to be higher in Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Warmth, and Openness to Feelings, whereas
men were higher in Assertiveness and Openness to Ideas. Contrary to predictions from evolutionary theory, the magnitude of gender differences varied
across cultures. Contrary to predictions from the social role model, gender differences were most pronounced in European and American cultures in which
traditional sex roles are minimized. Possible explanations for this surprising finding are discussed, including the attribution of masculine and feminine
behaviors to roles rather than traits in traditional cultures.
11. Rule compliance and peer sociability: A study of family process, school-focused parent-child interactions, and children's classroom behavior.
By Adams, Gerald R.; Ryan, Bruce A.; Ketsetzis, Maria; Keating, Leo
Journal of Family Psychology. 14(2), Jun 2000, 237-250. http://www.apa.org/journals/fam.html.
This study examined the associations among family processes (cohesion, control, and conflict), school-focused parent-child interactions (support and
pressure about achievement), and the child's own characteristics (assertiveness, frustration tolerance, intellectual effectiveness, and self-esteem) as
correlates of rule compliance and peer sociability in the classroom. The sample consisted of 161 Grade 4 and 151 Grade 7 children. Family processes and
parent-child interactions about school issues were associated with children's personal characteristics, which, in turn, predicted children's rule compliance
and peer sociability. Some differences were found between the 4th- and 7th-grade samples; however, many variables consistently predicted the same
outcomes across grades.
12. Chronic pain and psychodynamic body therapy: A controlled outcome study.
By Monsen, Kirsti; Monsen, Jon T.
Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training. 37(3), Fal 2000, 257-269.
Forty patients (aged 29-57 yrs) with pain disorders participated in a controlled study. Half of the patients were treated with psychodynamic body therapy
(PBT) for 33 sessions, and the other half received treatment as usual or no treatment. All patients were evaluated before therapy (T1), at the end of therapy
(T2), and at 1-year follow-up (T3) with a visual-analogue-pain scale (subjective experience of pain), symptom checklist, inventory of interpersonal
problems, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the affect-consciousness interview. The study demonstrated that at T2 the pain was
significantly reduced in the PBT group compared to the controls, and 50% of the PBT patients reported no pain. The findings further showed a significant
and substantial change on level of somatization, depression, anxiety, denial, assertiveness, and social withdrawal, and increased affect consciousness. The
results remained stable at T3, and the PBT patients even continued their improvement on some scales during follow-up.
13. Generalization effects of coping-skills training: Influence of self-defense training on women's efficacy beliefs, assertiveness, and aggression.
By Weitlauf, Julie C.; Smith, Ronald E.; Cervone, Daniel
Journal of Applied Psychology. 85(4), Aug 2000, 625-633. http://www.apa.org/journals/apl.html.
Concern for personal safety is a pervasive stressor for many women. Developing competencies in physical self-defense may empower women to engage
more freely in daily activities with less fear. This study assessed the effects of physical self-defense training on multiple aspects of women's perceived
self-efficacy and other self-reported personality characteristics. Training powerfully increased task-specific (self-defense) efficacy beliefs as well as
physical and global efficacy beliefs. Training increased self-reported assertiveness, and posttraining decreases in hostility and aggression were found on
several of the subscales of The Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992), indicating that training did not have an aggression-disinhibiting
effect. In the experimental condition, most of the effects were maintained (and some delayed effects appeared at follow-up.
14. Assertiveness predicts threat and challenge reactions to potential stress among women.
By Tomaka, Joe; Palacios, Rebecca; Schneider, Kimberly T.; Colotla, Maria; Concha, Jeannie B.; Herrald, Mary M.
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 76(6), Jun 1999, 1008-1021. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
In this study assertiveness as a moderator of stress reactions among women was examined. Specifically, the experimenters examined how high and low
assertive women cognitively appraised, affectively and physiologically responded to, and behaviorally coped with the stress of giving an impromptu
speech. High assertive women appraised the speech stressor as challenging, whereas low assertive women appraised the stressor as threatening. High
assertive women also had a challenge pattern of autonomic response during the task, compared with the threat response of low assertive women.
Afterward, the high assertive women reported experiencing less stress and negative emotion and greater positive emotion than did the low assertive
women. Overall, the high assertive women's stress-related reactions indicated challenge, whereas the low assertive women's reactions indicated threat (see
J. Tomaka, J. Blascovich, R. M. Kelsey, & C. L. Leitten, 1993).
19. Increasing assertiveness skills to reduce HIV risk among women living with a severe and persistent mental illness.
By Weinhardt, Lance S.; Carey, Michael P.; Carey, Kate B.; Verdecias, R. Nicki
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 66(4), Aug 1998, 680-684. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
This study examined whether training women living with a severe mental illness to be assertive in sexual situations would decrease their risk for HIV
infection. Twenty female outpatients were randomly assigned to either a 10-session assertiveness training intervention or a waiting-list control condition.
All participants completed measures of HIV-related information, motivation, skills, and sexual risk behavior pre- and postintervention and at 2- and 4-
month follow-ups. Compared with controls, women in the intervention group increased their assertiveness skill, HIV knowledge, and frequency of
condom-protected intercourse. It is concluded that assertiveness training for women living with a severe mental illness can serve as 1 part of a
comprehensive HIV-risk-reduction program for this vulnerable population.
20. Personality dimensions in spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta).

By Gosling, Samuel D.
Journal of Comparative Psychology. 112(2), Jun 1998, 107-118. http://www.apa.org/journals/com.html.
Personality ratings of 34 spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) were made by 4 observers who knew the animals well. Analyses suggest that (a) hyena
personality traits were rated with generally high reliability; (b) 5 broad dimensions (Assertiveness, Excitability, Human-Directed Agreeableness,
Sociability, and Curiosity) captured about 75% of the total variance; (c) this dimensional structure could not be explained in terms of dominance status,
sex, age, or appearance; and (d) as expected, female hyenas were more assertive than male hyenas. Comparisons with previous research provide evidence
for the cross-species generality of Excitability, Sociability, and especially Assertiveness. Discussion focuses on methodological issues in research on
animal personality and on the potential contributions this research can make for understanding the biological and environmental bases of personality.
21. Predicting police officer performance using the Inwald Personality Inventory: An illustration from Appalachia.
By Mufson, Diane W.; Mufson, Maurice A.
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. 29(1), Feb 1998, 59-62. http://www.apa.org/journals/pro.html.
Psychologists in rural areas are sometimes called on to assist in police officer selection. In the present study, the Inwald Personality Inventory (IPI) was
used to predict police officers' performance. Ratings for 33 officers hired over 4 years, along with IPI scores, were tested statistically. Four variables--
elevated scores on the Driving Violations and Lack of Assertiveness scales and lowered scores on the Type A and Rigid Type scales--significantly
predicted officers who were rated poorly or terminated. Although the specific findings may not generalize to other rural areas, this exploratory study
suggests that the IPI may be useful in such evaluations.
23. What motivates fairness? The role of subordinate assertive behavior on manager's interactional fairness.
By Korsgaard, M. Audrey; Roberson, Loriann; Rymph, R. Douglas
Journal of Applied Psychology. 83(5), Oct 1998, 731-744. http://www.apa.org/journals/apl.html.
This study investigated the proposition that a subordinate's communication style can affect a manager's fairness behavior during decision making and,
consequently, can affect the subordinate's attitudes toward the decision, manager, and organization. Two studies were conducted to test these propositions
in the context of performance appraisal decisions. First, a laboratory study demonstrated that appraisers engage in more interactionally fair behavior when
interacting with an assertive appraisee than with an unassertive appraisee. Second, a quasiexperimental field design showed that training employees on
assertiveness, when coupled with self-appraisal, is associated with positive attitudes toward the appraisal and trust in the manager. Implications for
understanding the causes of fair behavior and improving the fairness of decisions are discussed.
25. Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS) for women: Development and validation.
By Morokoff, Patricia J.; Quina, Kathryn; Harlow, Lisa L.; Whitmire, Laura; Grimley, Diane M.; Gibson, Pamela R.; Burkholder, Gary J.
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 73(4), Oct 1997, 790-804. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
Four studies were conducted to develop and validate the Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS), a measure of sexual assertiveness in women that consists of
factors measuring initiation, refusal, and pregnancy-sexually transmitted disease prevention assertiveness. A total of 1,613 women from both university
and community populations were studied. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the 3 factors remained stable across samples of university and
community women. A structural model was tested in 2 samples, indicating that sexual experience, anticipated negative partner response, and self-efficacy
are consistent predictors of sexual assertiveness. Sexual assertiveness was found to be somewhat related to relationship satisfaction, power, and length.
The community sample was retested after 6 months and 1 year to establish test-retest reliability. The SAS provides a reliable instrument for assessing and
understanding women's sexual assertiveness.
26. The effectiveness and practicality of occupational stress management interventions: A survey of subject matter expert opinions.
By Bellarosa, Cinzia; Chen, Peter Y.
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. 2(3), Jul 1997, 247-262. http://www.apa.org/journals/ocp.html.
96 stress management subject matter experts (SMEs) (aged 27-67 yrs) evaluated 6 widely used occupational SM interventions (relaxation, physical fitness,
cognitive restructuring, meditation, assertiveness training, and stress inoculation) on the basis of 10 practicality criteria and 7 effectiveness objectives.
Relaxation was evaluated overall as the most practical intervention, while meditation and stress inoculation were judged as the least practical. Physical
fitness was chosen to be the most effective intervention, while both meditation and assertiveness training were rated overall as the least effective. The
findings also revealed that the SMEs considered history of success and duration of effect, rather than "relevance to program objectives," as the most
important factors when selecting stress management interventions. Incongruence between effectiveness ratings and actual choices of interventions are
discussed.
27. The "If only I were thin . . ." Treatment Program: Decreasing the stigmatizing effects of fatness.
By Robinson, Beatrice E.; Bacon, Jane G.
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. 27(2), Apr 1996, 175-183. http://www.apa.org/journals/pro.html.
The authors describe an innovative treatment program for fat women designed to increase the number and variety of their daily activities and decrease their
fat phobic attitudes and depression, thereby increasing their self-esteem. Data on 47 female clients who completed the Fat Phobia Scale, the Restricted
Activities Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory-Short Form, and the Self-Esteem Scale, before and after treatment, indicate improvement on all four
instruments. The therapy approach, which focused on (a) increasing clients' daily activities, (b) examining individual eating patterns, (c) redefining
standards of beauty, and (d) teaching assertiveness skills to confront the prejudice and discrimination faced by fat people, is presented in detail.
28. Patterns of personality change across the life span.

By Jones, Constance J.; Meredith, William
Psychology and Aging. 11(1), Mar 1996, 57-65. http://www.apa.org/journals/pag.html.
Six aspects of personality were examined for a sample of 211 individuals across either a 30- or 40-year time span. Latent curve analyses found an
underlying pattern of lifetime change for self-confidence, cognitive commitment, outgoingness, and dependability. An underlying pattern of lifetime
stability was found for assertiveness. No shared systematic underlying pattern could be fit to individuals' lifetime trajectories for warmth. Although
individuals shared a single underlying pattern of change or stability for 5 of the 6 dimensions of personality considered here, they also showed differences
in the degree and direction of personality change.
29. Can pretraining experiences explain individual differences in learning?

By Smith-Jentsch, Kimberly A.; Jentsch, Florian G.; Payne, Stephanie C.; Salas, Eduardo
Journal of Applied Psychology. 81(1), Feb 1996, 110-116. http://www.apa.org/journals/apl.html.
This study examined the effects of having experienced negative events related to the purpose of a training program on learning and retention. Participants
were 32 private pilots who participated in an assertiveness-training study. The purpose of the training was to prevent aviation accidents caused by human
error. Structured telephone interviews were conducted to determine whether participants had previously experienced 3 types of negative events related to
the purpose of training. Results indicated a linear relationship between these negative events and assertive performance in a behavioral exercise 1 week
after training. The same negative events, however, were not significantly related to the performance of untrained participants in the same behavioral
exercise. It is suggested that previous experiences influenced posttraining performance by increasing motivation to learn.
32. Career decision-making and career search activities: Relative effects of career search self-efficacy and human agency.
By Solberg, V. Scott; Good, Glenn E.; Fischer, Ann R.; Brown, Steven D.; et al
Journal of Counseling Psychology. 42(4), Oct 1995, 448-455. http://www.apa.org/journals/cou.html.
The nature of the relationship between 3 human agency indices (assertiveness, instrumentality, and interpersonal facility), career search self-efficacy, and 3
career indices (vocational identity, career decision needs, and career activities performed) is examined. Data from 426 college men and women were
analyzed using hierarchical regression to assess whether career search self-efficacy was able to mediate the relationship between human agency and each
career index. For all 3 career indices, the mediator hypothesis was supported. No support was found for human agency mediating the relationship between
career search self-efficacy and the career indices, nor for human agency moderating the relationship between career search self-efficacy and career indices.
Implications for conducting counseling intervention programs focusing on development of career search self-efficacy expectations are discussed.
36. Effects of stress inoculation training on anxiety, stress, and academic performance among adolescents.
By Kiselica, Mark S.; Baker, Stanley B.; Thomas, Ronald N.; Reedy, Susan
Journal of Counseling Psychology. 41(3), Jul 1994, 335-342. http://www.apa.org/journals/cou.html.
The effectiveness of a preventive stress inoculation program for adolescents that consists of a blend of progressive muscle relaxation, cognitive
restructuring, and assertiveness training was examined. Trainees were compared with an empirically derived control group on measures of anxiety, stress,
and academic performance. Compared with controls, the training program participants showed significantly greater improvements on self-report measures
of trait anxiety and stress-related symptoms at posttest. These improvements were maintained at a 4-wk follow-up assessment. There were no significant
differences between the 2 groups in academic achievement at either posttest or follow-up.
38. Sexually aggressive men's perceptions of women's communications: Testing three explanations.
By Malamuth, Neil M.; Brown, Lisa M.
Tested 3 explanations of findings that sexually aggressive men perceive women's communications differently than less aggressive men. The 1st suggests
that aggressors are incompetent in decoding women's negative emotions. The 2nd posits that they fail to make subtle distinctions between women's
friendliness and seductiveness and between assertiveness and hostility. The 3rd explanation contends that sexual aggressors use a suspicious schema and
therefore discount the veridicality of women's communications. These explanations were tested using videotaped scenarios in which a woman's responses
to a man's advances were systematically varied. The data were most supportive of the suspicious schema explanation. These findings are integrated with
other research on the characteristics of sexual aggressors and on the perceptions of aggressive children and of maritally violent men. Implications for
interventions are also discussed.
40. Marital quality and gender differences in parent^child interaction.

By Kerig, Patricia K.; Cowan, Philip A.; Cowan, Carolyn P.
Developmental Psychology. 29(6), Nov 1993, 931-939. http://www.apa.org/journals/dev.html.
This microanalytic study of family interaction establishes links among marital quality, gender, and parent-child relationships. Dyadic conversational
exchanges between 38 mothers and fathers and their 3.5-yr-old 1st-born son or daughter were analyzed. Marital quality was related to gender differences in
both parent and child behavior, with less maritally adjusted fathers of daughters showing the most negativity toward their children. Sequential analyses
showed that gender differences in parents' and children's responses to one another were also mediated by marital quality. Mothers in less satisfied marriages
were the least accepting of daughters' assertiveness and were more likely to reciprocate the negative affect of sons. Daughters of parents lower in marital
satisfaction were less compliant with their fathers. Implications of these findings for understanding gender differences in the effects of marital conflict on
parenting and child development are discussed.
41. Assertiveness training for disabled adults in wheelchairs: Self-report, role-play, and activity pattern outcomes.
By Glueckauf, Robert L.; Quittner, Alexandra L.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 60(3), Jun 1992, 419-425. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
34 physically disabled adults participated in an 11-wk assertiveness training (AT) program. Ss were randomly assigned to either AT or a waiting-list (WL)
condition. Each was asked to complete 3 self-report measures, a role-play test, and a social and recreational activity diary. The AT Ss showed significant
improvements on both self-reported assertiveness and role-play performance from pre- to posttreatment, whereas WL controls showed no changes on these
measures. No significant changes in frequency of social or recreational activities were found at posttest for either AT or control Ss. A mixed pattern of
results was shown at 6-mo follow-up. Posttest gains were maintained across all self-report measures of assertiveness and acceptance of disability, whereas
role-play performance approached baseline levels at 6-mo follow-up. Overall results support the use of AT in enhancing perceived social efficacy and
interpersonal skill of physically disabled adults in wheelchairs.
42. What does a man want?

By Graham, Stanley R.
American Psychologist. 47(7), Jul 1992, 837-841. http://www.apa.org/journals/amp.html.
Discusses the changing roles and expectations held of men in modern society and the confusion this has engendered, a confusion that at times may be
linked with resulting domestic and societal problems. The author discusses the emergence of the men's movement and the quest for a clearer masculine
identity and a greater connection and communication between men. Also treated is the inability of many men to engage in intimacy. Psychology has
provided some healing techniques to bridge the gap between men and women (e.g., sensitivity training for men and assertiveness training for women), but
the author cites the need for training in good manners, decency, and good will.
43. Interpersonal problems: Variables influencing participants' perception of group climate.

By Kivlighan, Dennis M.; Angelone, Edgar O.
The relationship between group members' interpersonal problems and their perception of group climate was explored. 61 group participants, fulfilling a
class requirement for group participation, completed the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems and repeated administrations of the Group Climate
Questionnaire--Short Form. Hypotheses linking these 2 sets of variables were formulated from interpersonal theory. A canonical analysis showed that as
hypothesized, group members who perceived themselves as too dominant experienced the group climate as more avoiding and tense. Moreover, those who
perceived themselves as too cold, also as hypothesized, and as not having problems with assertiveness, contrary to the hypothesis, perceived the group
climate as less engaged, conflictual, and anxious. Implications of the results are discussed.
45. Social competence promotion with inner-city and suburban young adolescents: Effects on social adjustment and alcohol use.
By Caplan, Marlene; Weissberg, Roger P.; Grober, Jacqueline S.; Sivo, Patricia J.; et al
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 60(1), Feb 1992, 56-63. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
Assessed the impact of school-based social competence training on skills, social adjustment, and self-reported substance use of 282 6th and 7th graders.
Training emphasized broad-based competence promotion in conjunction with domain-specific application to substance abuse prevention. The 20-session
program comprised 6 units: stress management, self-esteem, problem solving, substances and health information, assertiveness, and social networks.
Findings indicated positive training effects on Ss' skills in handling interpersonal problems and coping with anxiety. Teacher ratings revealed
improvements in Ss' constructive conflict resolution with peers, impulse control, and popularity. Self-report ratings indicated gains in problem-solving
efficacy. Results suggest some preventive impact on self-reported substance use intentions and excessive alcohol use. In general, the program was found to
be beneficial for both inner-city and suburban students.
47. The judge as a mediator.

By Wall, James A.; Rude, Dale E.
Journal of Applied Psychology. 76(1), Feb 1991, 54-59. http://www.apa.org/journals/apl.html.
The effects that judges' mediations, the number of techniques and their assertiveness, are perceived to have on the out of court settlement of civil cases
were examined. In the 1st study (a nationwide survey), 900 state judges read a civil case in which the number of mediation techniques (2 vs 10) and the
assertiveness of the techniques (assertive vs nonassertive) were manipulated. Respondents' (71% response rate) data revealed that the perceived probability
of settlement increased as more techniques were used and as the techniques used became more assertive. The 2nd study, of 1 judge's mediations for 1 yr
(257 cases), corroborated these findings.
48. Ease of retrieval as information: Another look at the availability heuristic.

By Schwarz, Norbert; Bless, Herbert; Strack, Fritz; Klumpp, Gisela; et al
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 61(2), Aug 1991, 195-202. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
Experienced ease of recall was found to qualify the implications of recalled content. Ss who had to recall 12 examples of assertive (unassertive) behaviors,
which was difficult, rated themselves as less assertive (less unassertive) than Ss who had to recall 6 examples, which was easy. In fact, Ss reported higher
assertiveness after recalling 12 unassertive rather than 12 assertive behaviors. Thus, self-assessments only reflected the implications of recalled content if
recall was easy. The impact of ease of recall was eliminated when its informational value was discredited by a misattribution manipulation. The informative
functions of subjective experiences are discussed.
49. Asian-American assertion: A social learning analysis of cultural differences.

By Zane, Nolan W.; Sue, Stanley; Hu, Li-tze; Kwon, Jung-hye
Journal of Counseling Psychology. 38(1), Jan 1991, 63-70. http://www.apa.org/journals/cou.html.
Examined cultural differences in assertiveness by using a social learning analysis to better articulate the influence of cultural variables. Differences in self-
reported assertion responding between Asian and Caucasian-Americans were assessed across 9 different situations, and the differences were related to prior
experiences, expectancy outcomes, or self-efficacy beliefs. The findings suggest that assertion differences among Asians and Caucasians are situationally
specific, with most differences occurring in interactions with strangers. Ethnic differences in self-efficacy paralleled those found for self-reported assertive
responding. Compared to Caucasians, Asians tended to experience greater anxiety and guilt, regardless of whether or not they reportedly were less
assertive. Implications for counseling Asian-Americans using different assertion interventions are discussed.
50. Culturally sensitive assertiveness training for ethnic minority clients.

By Wood, Peggy S.; Mallinckrodt, Brent
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. 21(1), Feb 1990, 5-11. http://www.apa.org/journals/pro.html.
This article serves as a comprehensive resource to help bridge the gap of cultural understanding for those using assertiveness training with ethnic minority
clients. Therapists providing cross-cultural assertiveness training must be certain that gaining such skills is a value shared by the client and not imposed by
the therapist. A more culturally appropriate approach includes the following general assessment strategies: determining the etiology of the lack of
assertiveness; using self-report inventories that avoid words, slang, or situations that may not be meaningful to the client; and the developing norms for the
cultural group for which the inventory will be used. General treatment strategies may include "message matching," backup assertion, and discriminative
cue learning. Specific strategies that are relevant for each cultural group are discussed.
51. Personal assertiveness and the effects of social support among college students.
By Elliott, Timothy R.; Gramling, Sandy E.
Although research has established that socially supportive relationships are important factors in psychological adjustment under stress, social support
research has not examined the interaction between interpersonal variables and social support. Personal assertiveness in particular is one interpersonal
variable that theoretically could enhance the beneficial aspects of social support. Data collected from two independent samples of college students in an
urban setting provide evidence that personal assertiveness significantly augments specific types of social relationships to predict psychological symptoms
under stressful conditions.
52. Effectiveness of booster sessions in the maintenance and enhancement of treatment gains following assertion training.
By Baggs, Kate; Spence, Susan H.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 58(6), Dec 1990, 845-854. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
46 unassertive Ss were randomly assigned to assertion training (AT) or waiting-list control conditions. Ss receiving AT showed significantly greater
improvements from pretreatment to posttreatment on 8 out of 10 questionnaire measures of assertiveness and 3 out of 5 direct behavioral observation
measures compared with the waiting-list group. 27 Ss who had completed the AT program were then randomly assigned to 1 of 3 booster conditions,
namely, monthly AT boosters (ATB), monthly attention placebo boosters (APB) or no boosters (NB). At the 3-mo follow-up there was minimal difference
between booster conditions. By the 6-mo follow-up the results favored the ATB condition. Although the APB procedure was effective in preventing the
relapse shown by the NB Ss, the ATB group actually showed further improvements on some measures of assertiveness during the 6-mo follow-up period.
53. An attempt to establish the experimental construct validity of cognitive and behavioral approaches to assertiveness training.
By Cianni, Mary; Horan, John J.
Cognitive, behavioral, and combined assertiveness treatments for dysfunctional job-interviewing skills were evaluated in a design that included high-
demand and waiting list control treatments as well. Cognitive, behavioral, generalization, and control measures were used to determine the construct
validity of hypothesized improvements. The cognitive treatment had no impact on any outcome variable. Some evidence to favor the behavioral treatment
appeared on the cognitive assessment battery. However, given the failure of the behavioral treatment to register parallel changes on the behavioral battery,
these cognitive improvements are not clearly attributable to behavioral theory.
55. Dimensions of assertiveness: Differential relationships to substance use in early adolescence.

By Wills, Thomas A.; Baker, Eli; Botvin, Gilbert J.

We tested a multidimensioanl formulation of assertiveness and substance (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) use in 3 metropolitan-area school samples of
adolescents aged 5,545) included inner-city = 1,430, and N = 675, N = 12-14 yrs. Three studies (N and suburban settings and included White, Black,
and Hispanic students. Factor analysis of versions of the Gambrill-Richey Assertion Inventory indicated five indepenedent dimensions of assertive
behavior. Multiple regression analyses indicated that a dimension of Substance-specific Assertiveness was inversely associated with substance use, whereas
dimensions of Social Assertiveness and Dating Assertiveness was positively associated with substance use. A dimension of General Assertiveness was
unrelated to substance use. Interaction effects indicated that relations were stronger for girls for Substance and Social Assertiveness and for boys for Dating
Assertiveness. Implications of the findings for models of assertive behavior and for design of primary prevention programs are discussed.
56. Conversation memory: The effects of speaker status on memory for the assertiveness of conversation remarks.
By Holtgraves, Thomas; Srull, Thomas K.; Socall, Daniel
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 56(2), Feb 1989, 149-160. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
We conducted three experiments to examine the effects of information about a speaker's status on memory for the assertiveness of his or her remarks.
Subjects either read (Experiments 1 and 2) or listened to a conversation (Experiment 3) and were later tested for their memory of the target speaker's
remarks with either a recognition (Experiment 1) or a recall procedure (Experiments 2 and 3). In all experiments the target speaker's ostensible status was
manipulated. In Experiment 1, subjects who believed the speaker was high in status were less able later to distinguish between remarks from the
conversation and assertive paraphrases of those remarks. This result was replicated in Experiment 2, but only when the status information was provided
before subjects read the conversation and not when the information was provided after the conversation had been read. Experiment 2's results eliminate a
reconstructive memory interpretation and suggest that information about a speaker's status affects the encoding of remarks. Experiment 3 examined this
effect in a more ecologically representative context.
59. Influence of assessment methods on self-efficacy and outcome expectancy ratings of assertive behavior.
By Arisohn, Brad; Bruch, Monroe A.; Heimberg, Richard G.
The study evaluated whether alternate assessment methods contribute to variability in self-efficacy and outcome expectancy ratings for refusal of
unreasonable requests. Subject assertiveness plus two methods of scene presentation (i.e., printed vs videotape) and two methods of response generation
(i.e., experimenter-prepared vs. subject thought-listed) were compared in a repeated measures design. All subjects were exposed to eight request situations
that were matched for legitimacy level and target person. Each situation reflected one of four combinations of assessment methods and served to elicit either
an efficacy or outcome expectancy rating. For self-efficacy ratings, there was a significant interaction that indicated that the printed scene plus
experimenter-prepared response condition yielded significantly higher ratings than all of the other conditions. For outcome expectancy ratings, there was a
main effect for response-generation method indicating that the thought-listing method led to lower expectancy of positive outcomes. Also, consistent with
past research, assertive subjects reported more positive than negative outcome expectancies. These plus other findings are discussed relative to the cognitive
assessment and self-efficacy literatures.
61. Relation of hassles and personality to subjective well-being.
By Zika, Sheryl; Chamberlain, Kerry
We examined three personality variables--locus of control, assertiveness, and meaning in life--as possible moderators of the relation between stressors and
subjective well-being. Results from a sample of 160 students suggested that any moderating effects were not extensive and were mainly limited to the locus
of control variable with female subjects. Replication of the study on a sample of 120 community members found no significant moderating effects. Chronic
daily stressors (hassles) were found to have a direct effect on well-being reports. Among the personality variables, meaning in life consistently predicted
positive well-being, and internal locus of control and assertiveness had direct but somewhat less consistent effects. Consideration is given to possible
explanations for the pattern of results, and implications for the structure of well-being are discussed.
62. Conceptual level matching and effects of assertion training.

By Stoppard, Janet M.; Henri, Gail S.
36 unassertive women (aged 20-52 yrs), assessed through Quick Test scores as high or low on conceptual level (CL), were randomly assigned to high-
structure-behavioral or low-structure-cognitive forms of assertion training (AT). Low-CL Ss who received the "matched," high-structure AT were expected
to make greater gains in assertiveness and to report more satisfaction with counseling than were Ss who received the "mismatched," low-structure AT.
High-CL Ss in the matched, low-structure condition were expected to gain more benefit from AT and to express more satisfaction with counseling than
were high-CL Ss in the mismatched, high-structure condition. After 4 2-hr sessions of AT, low-CL Ss in the matched condition showed more improvement
in assertiveness of verbal responses and evaluated the counselor as more expert and trustworthy than did low-CL Ss in mismatched condition. No matching
effects were found with high-CL Ss. (38 ref)
64. Depression, general distress, and causal attributions among university students.
By Nezu, Arthur M.; Nezu, Christine M.; Nezu, Victor A.
Journal of Abnormal Psychology. 95(2), May 1986, 184-186. http://www.apa.org/journals/abn.html.
Attempted to replicate I. H. Gotlib's (see record 1984-15153-001) finding of a high intercorrelation among various measures of distress (depression, state
anxiety, trait anxiety, psychosomatic complaints, and assertiveness) within an undergraduate sample. Results obtained from 134 undergraduates found the
Beck Depression Inventory to be highly correlated with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory--Form Y, the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, and the
Psychosomatic Symptom Checklist, although the assertiveness measure demonstrated some discriminant validity according to a principal-components
analysis. A canonical correlation analysis revealed that all 5 measures of distress were significantly related to causal attributions concerning both positive
and negative events on the Attributional Style Questionnaire, partially replicating Gotlib's results. (10 ref)
65. The impact of conducting psychotherapy on psychotherapists' interpersonal functioning.

By Guy, James D.; Liaboe, Gary P.
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. 17(2), Apr 1986, 111-114. http://www.apa.org/journals/pro.html.
Reviews the literature and presents several scenarios concerning the impact of practicing psychotherapy on the psychotherapist, focusing on the effects on
their interpersonal functioning. Findings reveal such positive consequences of practicing psychotherapy as increased assertiveness, self-assurance, self-
reliance, and self respect; negative consequences include increased anxiety and higher suicide and alcoholism rates. Ways to minimize or eliminate possible
negative consequences are suggested, including alerting psychotherapists to the potential problems, more adequate screening and monitoring of allied
mental health professionals at the pre- and postgraduate level, and monitoring of professionals in the field by postgraduate professional organizations. (26

66. Measuring effects of a skills training intervention for drug abusers.

By Hawkins, J. David; Catalano, Richard F.; Wells, Elizabeth A.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 54(5), Oct 1986, 661-664. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
Examined the effectiveness of a supplemental skills training and social-network-development aftercare program with 130 drug abusers (aged 15-55 yrs)
from 4 residential therapeutic communities. The program included training in assertiveness, problem-solving, stress management, and giving and receiving
praise; training techniques included group discussion, modeling, role playing and feedback. Pre- and posttesting with a problem situation inventory showed
that the intervention produced positive effects on Ss' performance at the conclusion of treatment. Performance improved in situations involving avoidance
of drug use, coping with drug relapse, social interaction, interpersonal problem solving, and coping with stress. It is concluded that as a reentry strategy, the
supplemental intervention is an effective adjunct to residential treatment. (19 ref)
67. On the dimensions preschoolers use to interpret facial expressions of emotion.

By Russell, James A.; Bullock, Merry
Developmental Psychology. 22(1), Jan 1986, 97-102. http://www.apa.org/journals/dev.html.
Examined dimensions of the meaning attributed to facial expressions of emotion by 30 undergraduates and by 19 4-yr-olds, 21 3-yr-olds, and 38 2-yr-olds.
Ss indicated the similarity or dissimilarity between different emotions by placing photographs of emotional facial expressions into preordained numbers of
groups. For each age group, multidimensional scaling of the pairwise similarities yielded a 2-dimensional structure in which the expressions fell in a
roughly similar circular order. Its dimensions could be interpreted as the degree of pleasure and the degree of arousal. Four-year-olds and adults also
produced a 3rd dimension, tentatively interpreted as assertiveness vs taken aback. The possibility that these results reflect judgments of the similarity of
physical features rather than the similarity of emotional meanings is rejected, and the interpretation of emotional expressions in terms of categories or
dimensions is discussed. (25 ref)
68. Relative benefits of assertion or cognitive self-control treatment for depression as a function of proficiency in each domain.
By Rude, Stephanie S.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 54(3), Jun 1986, 390-394. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
Compared responses to an assertion training and a cognitive self-control treatment as a function of 28 depressed females' (mean age 40 yrs) initial assertion
and cognitive self-control skills. 16 other Ss served as waiting list controls. All Ss were assessed on measures including the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory (MMPI), Beck Depression Inventory, and Rathus Assertiveness Schedule. It was predicted that (a) reductions in depression would be
greater for treated as compared to waiting-list control conditions and (b) Ss low in a skill (cognitive or assertion) would benefit most from treatment
addressing that skill. Only the 1st prediction was supported; treated Ss obtained greater depression reduction than controls. Neither cognitive nor assertion
skill level significantly predicted response to the treatments. Effects of the treatments were not specific to targeted skills, and treatment had a significant
impact only on cognitive self-control skill. Implications for skills-deficit models of depression therapy are discussed. (31 ref)
69. Multimethod assessment of rapists, child molesters, and three control groups on behavioral and psychological measures.
By Overholser, James C.; Beck, Steven
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 54(5), Oct 1986, 682-687. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
12 males in each of 5 groups (rapists, child molesters, non-sex-offender inmates, low socioeconomic status [SES] volunteers, and college students who were
infrequent daters) were observed interacting with a female confederate in a naturalistic interaction and in role-play scenes. Ss also completed measures
including the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List, Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory, and Fear of Negative Evaluation
Scale. Overall, heterosocial skill deficits were observed in child molesters and rapists in comparison with the control groups. Rapists displayed higher
physiological indices of anxiety during role-play scenes that demanded assertive responses, and child molesters displayed a fear of negative evaluations.
Child molesters were also characterized by highly stereotyped views of sex role behavior. Measures of hostility or impulsivity were not useful in
distinguishing child molesters and rapists from the 3 control groups. Treatment and assessment implications for sex offenders are discussed. (15 ref)
70. Altruism and aggression: The heritability of individual differences.

By Rushton, J. Philipp; et al
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 50(6), Jun 1986, 1192-1198. http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html.
Administered 5 questionnaires measuring altruistic and aggressive tendencies to 573 adult twin pairs (mean age about 30 yrs) of both sexes from the
University of London Institute of Psychiatry Volunteer Twin Register. Ss included 206 monozygotic (MZ) female, 90 MZ male, 133 dizygotic (DZ) female,
46 DZ male, and 98 DZ opposite-sex pairs. The questionnaires measured altruism, empathy, nurturance, aggressiveness, and assertiveness. The intraclass
correlations for the 5 scales, respectively, were .53, .54, .49, .40, and .52 for the 296 MZ pairs, and .25, .20, .14, .04, and .20 for the 179 same-sex DZ pairs,
resulting in broad heritability estimates of 56, 68, 70, 72, and 64%. Additional analyses, using maximum-likelihood model-fitting, revealed approximately
50% of the variance on each scale to be associated with genetic effects, virtually 0% with the twins' common environment, and the remaining 50% with
each twins' specific environment and/or error associated with the test. Correcting for the unreliability in the tests raised the maximum-likelihood
heritabilities to approximately 60%. Age and sex differences were also found: Altruism increased over the age span from 19 to 60 yrs, whereas
aggressiveness decreased; at each age, women had higher scores than men on altruism and lower scores on aggressiveness. (47 ref)
71. Convergent and discriminant validity of selected assertiveness measures.

By Swimmer, Glenn I.; Ramanaiah, Nerella V.
Used D. T. Campbell and D. W. Fiske's (see record 1976-20103-001) multitrait-multimethod design and D. N. Jackson's (see record 1976-00077-001)
multimethod factor analysis to investigate the convergent and discriminant validity of selected assertiveness measures as compared with those of aggression
and dominance. The selected assertiveness measures were the College Self-Expression Scale (J. P. Galassi et al; see record 1974-30156-001), the Wolpe-
Lazarus Assertiveness Questionnaire (J. Wolpe and A. Lazarus, 1966), and global self-ratings of assertiveness. 159 undergraduates served as Ss. Results
provide strong support for the convergent and discriminant validity of the assertiveness measures. (33 ref)
72. Personality traits and teacher-student behaviors in physical education.

By Phillips, D. Allen; Carlisle, Cynthia S.; Hautala, Robert; Larson, Richard
Journal of Educational Psychology. 77(4), Aug 1985, 408-416. http://www.apa.org/journals/edu.html.
Analyzed the relationship of teacher personality as measured by the 16PF to teacher behaviors in physical education as measured by a physical education
teacher assessment instrument. Teacher behavior data were obtained from 18 physical education teachers in 3 junior high schools, 5 middle schools, and 6
elementary schools who volunteered to teach a 10-lesson beginning volleyball unit using their own individual teaching styles. Eight students were randomly
selected from each teacher's class 144). Results indicate the primary personality traits of assertiveness, = (n expediency, questioning, imaginativeness,
genuineness, confidence, and experimenting related significantly to many important teacher and student behaviors observed in a typical physical education
class. Teachers who scored high on these personality traits tended to exhibit a higher level of knowledge, utilized objectives and testing more effectively,
and were more flexible and appropriate in their instruction. They also provided more planned instruction and more positive feedback. Teachers who scored
high in assertiveness, questioning, and imaginativeness tended to provide their students with more time on task and a higher quality of practice time.
Students of teachers who scored high in independence, assertiveness, questioning, and imaginativeness learned more than did students of teachers who were
low in these personality traits. (28 ref)
73. Effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral treatments in reducing Type A behavior among university faculty.
By Thurman, Christopher W.
Investigated the effects of 2 treatments, cognitive-behavioral modification (CBM) and cognitive-behavioral modification plus assertiveness training
(CBM/AT), in reducing Type A (coronary prone) behavior and related characteristics among 51 female and male 31-64 yr old faculty members. Ss had
scored at or above the 60th percentile on the Jenkins Activity Survey. Ss were also given the State-Trait Anger Scale, the Rational Behavior Inventory, and
the Manifest Hostility Content Scale. Findings indicate that both treatments were significantly more effective than a minimal treatment control in reducing
self-reported Type A behavior, hostility, and irrational beliefs. However, the addition of assertiveness training in the CBM/AT treatment did not
significantly increase its effectiveness in reducing the dependent variables, compared with the CBM treatment. (27 ref)
74. Role of social competence in borderline essestial hypertension.

By Morrison, Randall L.; Bellack, Alan S.; Manuck, Stephen B.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 53(2), Apr 1985, 248-255. http://www.apa.org/journals/ccp.html.
Examined the social competence of 22 male borderline hypertensives (aged 19-45 yrs) in relation to cardiovascular responsivity to a behavioral role-play
test (RPT) of assertiveness. Ss were divided into 2 groups: one group experienced large increases in pulse pressure (PP) in response to social challenge
(Group 1), while the other group showed small changes in PP (relatively equal rises in systolic and diastolic blood pressure) under the same stimulus
condition (Group 2). These differential group patterns of cardiovascular response were specific to interpersonal stressors because the groups did not differ in
reactivity to cognitive challenges. Group 2 Ss evidenced unassertive responding on a role-play test of negative assertion and were rated by significant others
as the least socially competent as compared to normotensive controls (who received the highest social competence ratings) and Ss in Group 1. Group 1 Ss
responded in an inappropriately assertive fashion on the RPT and had shorter response latencies during the RPT than Ss in Group 2, suggesting that Ss in
Group 2 had greater levels of interpersonal anxiety. Findings indicate that hostile inappropriate assertiveness and inappropriate submissiveness may be
associated with hypertension. (16 ref)
75. Multiple perspectives of rejected, neglected, and accepted children: Relation between sociometric status and behavioral characteristics.
By Cantrell, V. L.; Prinz, Ronald J.
Hypothesized, on the basis of findings from several studies, that rejected children are more disruptive, aggressive, and socially inappropriate than are their
classmates. Three groups of 39 rejected, 29 neglected, and 39 accepted children were randomly selected from 282 boys and 210 girls who were identified
separately on the basis of sociometric scores for 492 children in Grades 3-6. The 3 groups were compared using multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA)
on measures from 4 domains: peer behavioral attributions, teacher ratings, analog assertiveness task, and self-evaluation. Rejected Ss were clearly
distinguished from their same-sex neglected and accepted classmates and were described by teachers and peers as aggressive, disruptive and inattentive.
Neglected Ss were only marginally discriminable from same-sex accepted children. Neither neglected nor rejected Ss were differentiated from accepted Ss
with respect to observed assertiveness and self-ratings of shyness, unhappiness, and feeling unaccepted. The results replicate previous findings for rejected
children. Currently, there is not sufficient justification to consider the group of socially neglected children as a clinical category. (21 ref)
1. Evaluations by staff, residents, and community seniors of patronizing speech in the nursing home: Impact of passive, assertive, or humorous responses.
By Ryan, Ellen Bouchard; Kennaley, Diane E.; Pratt, Michael W.; Shumovich, Martha A.
Psychology and Aging. 15(2), Jun 2000, 272-285. http://www.apa.org/journals/pag.html.
Two studies tested the impact of alternative communication in accommodation strategies. Nursing home staff and residents (and community-residing seniors
in Study 2) rated nurse-resident conversational scenarios in which a resident responded passively, directly assertively, or humorously (indirectly assertively)
to a patronizing nurse. The nurse then either maintained a patronizing manner or accommodated with a more respectful speech style. Even though all groups
devalued the nurse who maintained a patronizing speech style, nursing home residents predictably showed the most acceptance. The directly assertive
response by the resident elicited more devaluation of the nonaccommodating nurse than did either passive or humorous responses, but also the least favorable
ratings of the resident. Ratings of the humorous response in Study 2 suggested that humor could be a good compromise response style for allowing the
receiver of patronizing speech to express opposition to a request, yet still maintain an appearance of competence and politeness.
2. What motivates fairness? The role of subordinate assertive behavior on manager's interactional fairness.
By Korsgaard, M. Audrey; Roberson, Loriann; Rymph, R. Douglas
Journal of Applied Psychology. 83(5), Oct 1998, 731-744. http://www.apa.org/journals/apl.html.
This study investigated the proposition that a subordinate's communication style can affect a manager's fairness behavior during decision making and,
consequently, can affect the subordinate's attitudes toward the decision, manager, and organization. Two studies were conducted to test these propositions in
the context of performance appraisal decisions. First, a laboratory study demonstrated that appraisers engage in more interactionally fair behavior when
interacting with an assertive appraisee than with an unassertive appraisee. Second, a quasiexperimental field design showed that training employees on
assertiveness, when coupled with self-appraisal, is associated with positive attitudes toward the appraisal and trust in the manager. Implications for
understanding the causes of fair behavior and improving the fairness of decisions are discussed.
3. Effects of alternative modeling strategies on outcomes of interpersonal-skills training.

By Baldwin, Timothy T.
Journal of Applied Psychology. 77(2), Apr 1992, 147-154. http://www.apa.org/journals/apl.html.
The effects of 2 alternative modeling strategies (using multiple scenarios and combining negative and positive model displays) on outcomes of a behavior
modeling training program 72) participated in a program on assertive = were explored. Trainees (N communication structured to allow for a controlled
experimental design that crossed scenario variability (1 vs multiple scenarios) with model display variability (positive model displays vs positive and
negative model displays). Outcomes assessed included trainee reactions, learning, and retention and behavioral measures of reproduction and generalization.
The effects of multiple scenarios were negligible, but the positive and negative combination of model displays had a significant positive effect on trainee
generalization and a significant negative effect on reproduction. Implications for future modeling research and practice are discussed.
4. Group coping skills instruction and supportive group therapy for cancer patients: A comparison of strategies.
By Telch, Christy F.; Telch, Michael J.
Compared the relative efficacy of comprehensive group coping skills training and supportive group therapy for enhancing 41 cancer patients' (aged 19-64
yrs) adjustment to their disease. Support group sessions were nondirective and emphasized the mutual sharing of feelings and concerns. Coping skills training
included instruction in relaxation and stress management, assertive communication, cognitive restructuring and problem solving, feelings management, and
pleasant activity planning. Results demonstrate a consistent superiority of the coping skills intervention over supportive group therapy and a no-treatment
control. Ss receiving supportive group therapy exhibited little improvement, and untreated Ss evidenced a significant deterioration in psychological
adjustment. It is suggested that psychological distressed cancer patients should be provided with multifaceted coping skills training. (32 ref)
208. Convergent and discriminant validity of selected assertiveness measures.

By Swimmer, Glenn I.; Ramanaiah, Nerella V.
Used D. T. Campbell and D. W. Fiske's (see record 1976-20103-001) multitrait-multimethod design and D. N. Jackson's (see record 1976-00077-001)
multimethod factor analysis to investigate the convergent and discriminant validity of selected assertiveness measures as compared with those of aggression
and dominance. The selected assertiveness measures were the College Self-Expression Scale (J. P. Galassi et al; see record 1974-30156-001), the Wolpe-
Lazarus Assertiveness Questionnaire (J. Wolpe and A. Lazarus, 1966), and global self-ratings of assertiveness. 159 undergraduates served as Ss. Results
provide strong support for the convergent and discriminant validity of the assertiveness measures. (33 ref)
210. Consistency of assertive, aggressive, and submissive behavior for children.

By Deluty, Robert H.
Assessed the interpersonal behavior of 50 3rd-5th grade children (22 boys and 28 girls) over an 8-mo period in a wide variety of naturally occurring school
activities. The consistency of the Ss' behavior was found to vary as a function of the S's sex, the class of behavior examined, and the similarity-dissimilarity of the
contexts in which the behaviors occurred. Boys demonstrated remarkable consistency in their aggressive expression; 46 of 105 intercorrelations for the
aggressiveness dimensions were statistically significant. In general, the consistency of assertive behavior for both boys and girls was unexpectedly high. (46 ref)
176. Anxiety, depression, and assertion across alternating intervals of stress.

By Saigh, Philip A.
Journal of Abnormal Psychology. 97(3), Aug 1988, 338-341. http://www.apa.org/journals/abn.html.
The course of self-reported anxiety, depression, and assertion was charted 63 days before 12 students were exposed to a significant war-related stressor as well
as 8, 37, and 316 days later. Although the majority of respondents reported higher levels of anxiety and depression as well as lower levels of assertion 8 days
after the trauma, the estimates observed 37 and 316 days after the trauma were not significantly different than the estimates observed 63 days before the
trauma. A single-case analysis as well as a series of diagnostic interviews revealed, however, that one of the students developed chronic posttraumatic stress
disorder. The results are examined from an epidemiological and etiological perspective.

Tips
If the list is not sufficient, you can try combining ideas from different titles.
If it is still not enough, you can observe and look around you for processes that can be improved or automated.
How to come up with your thesis' advantage and disadvantages:
1. Brainstorm and list the things that you observed from the current system (purely manual, semi-automated, or existing automated
system), and then list the things that you can visualize on the proposed system.
2. Compare these two lists. There are high chances that some processes on the current system has an equivalent process in the proposed
system which are much more easier to execute. You list these things as advantages.
3. There are also processes in the proposed system that are do not exist in the current system (Additional processes), you can list these as
your disadvantages.
