Assertive Behavior and Likeability in Elementary School Boys.

Wojnilower, Daniel A.; Gross, Alan M.

Child and Family Behavior Therapy, v6 n4 p57-70 Win 1984

The social impact of assertive versus nonassertive behavior in fourth- and fifth-grade boys was investigated. Subjects viewed and evaluated eight videotaped scenes of different ten-year-old male models responding assertively or nonassertively to given situations. Results suggest that assertive behavior is valued by elementary school boys. (RDN)
