Wehr, Sara H.; Kaufman, Melvin E.

Adolescence, v22 n85 p195-205 Spr 1987

Investigated the effects of assertive training on measures of assertiveness, state anxiety, and mathematics performance in highly anxious ninth graders (N=96). Found that assertive training resulted in increased assertiveness and decreased state anxiety, with no significant effect on mathematics performance, and no significant effect due to sex.
