On the Decision to Be Assertive.

Fiedler, Decky; Beach, Lee Roy

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n3 p537-46 Jun 1978

Examined the applicability of an expectancy/decison model to assertiveness in a nonclinical population. Results suggest that participants consider the consequences of being assertive when making a decision about how to behave. Training programs should take into account the participant's perceptions of the risks involved in being assertive. (Author/BEF)
