Abstract

Background: Aggression and ASSERTIVENESS are confused with each, while the rights of all respected in the ASSERTIVENESS and it is an important aspect of social skills. ASSERTIVENESS has been associated with neuroticism, depression, and anxiety. Although many ASSERTIVENESS instruments have been developed for research and clinical purposes, one common shortcoming is a lack of discriminant validity with regard to aggression. Further, the wording of many instruments is outdated and discriminatory. The present research was to develop a more sensitive instrument measuring two distinguishable forms of ASSERTIVENESS: adaptive ASSERTIVENESS and aggressive ASSERTIVENESS.Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties Adaptive and Aggressive ASSERTIVENESS Scales (AAA-S) (Thompson, & Berenbaum,) in Iran society.Method and Results: To pursue this aim 317 (167 female and 132 male) Shiraz university students were selected by multistage random cluster sampling method. Participants completed AAA-S. Principal Component factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity of the instrument. The results showed that two factors of Adaptive and Aggressive ASSERTIVENESS could be extracted. Findings showed that there was a positive relationship between AAA-S and The Assertion Inventory which provided evidence to support the criteria convergent validity of the AAA-S. Also result showed that the aggressive ASSERTIVENESS scale was associated with various forms of aggression. The AAA-S showed a good reliability as well as Cronbach alpha coefficient. The results indicated two subscales of AAA-S and it was the same with the source model. In general, the results revealed that AAA-S is a reliable and valid measure to be used for Iranian Students and it can be used for clinical and research purposes.Conclusion: To summarize, the results of the present research suggest that the AAA-S provides a valid means of assessing ASSERTIVENESS for Iranian students. It has several advantages compared with alternative instruments. The wording of the AAA-S does not include heterosexist items and reflects terminology considered socially appropriate by present-day standards. Further, it allows the measurement of two separate forms of ASSERTIVENESS, namely adaptive and aggressive ASSERTIVENESS. Because of this, the AAA-S allows researchers and clinicians to measure ASSERTIVENESS in a way that does not confound ASSERTIVENESS and aggression, and does not underestimate the tendency of women to engage in assertive behaviors.
