≪LATTER HALF≫

Assertion

Assertion is communication and behavior that respects the rights of others while asserting your own rights.

By being aware of this, communication within the company or family is revitalized as both parties are able to speak honestly with each other without any preconceived notions or discernment.

The origins of assertion were developed as a behavioral therapy by an American psychologist in 1950. In the 1970s in the U.S., assertion became popular as a method of self-expression with respect for others in order to solve communication problems caused by racial discrimination. In Japan, it was introduced in the 1980s and has been used mainly in the fields of education and medicine.

Ex. When your boss suddenly asks you for a job in urgent;

A: Aggressive type

      You’d say, “No way! Couldn’t you see I’m busy?”

B: Passive type

     You do it without saying anything because

      it’s no use telling him/her anything.

C: Contrived Type

     You’d say, “Wouldn’t you know, ‘work style reform’ is?”

    or you do it without saying anything but act irritated.

D: Well-balanced type

    I got that but I need to work on another task too. Which do you think to be prioritized?
