Situational determinants of assertive behavior in college students / Assertive behavior in college students

This study attempted to determine the nature and degree of the relationship between assertive behavior and the situational context in which the behavior occurs.Specifically, the independent variables were sex-of subject, sex of antagonist and familiarity of the subject with the antagonist. An attempt was also made to determine if assertiveness was related in some way to attitudes toward equality of the sexes.Results revealed that subjects were more assertive toward unfamiliar antagonists, the only significant interaction. There were also correlations between the degree of assertiveness and duration of response and between assertiveness and affect.
