The purpose of this study is to develop an assertriveness training program for nonassertive undergraduates who can not stand up for personal rights and express one's own drives, thoughts, beliefs, opinions, and feelings in direct, honest, and appropriate ways that do not violate another person's rights and feelings.
This program is made up eight parts. In each part, you can experience to learn key concepts, to exercise assertiveness in generalized nonassertive situaion on each key concept, to rehearse assertive behavior in indvidualized nonassertive situation on each key concept, and to discuss and evaluate the experience of each part.
Eight parts of this program are:
Part Ⅰ : self-introduction and establishing trustful relationship.
Part Ⅱ : understanding assertive behaviors and analysis of nonassertive behaviors.
Part Ⅲ : thinking assertively: avoiding irrational thoughts, deciding when to be or not to be assertive.
Part Ⅳ : coping with anxiety-self-statements and relaxation skills.
Part Ⅴ : modeling of assertive behaviors.
Part Ⅵ : role-playing and feedback.
Part Ⅶ : asserting oneself in daily life.
Part Ⅷ : concluding the program:thanks for group members and program evaluation.
This assertiveness training program may come into effect to undergraduates, if you are trained 2 hours a week by group training procedures. But if you change the given situation appropriatly to you, those who want to assert in one's daily life can use this program individually.
