    A negative outcome of assertiveness is having an open and honest relationship

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that having an open and honest relationship is a negative outcome of assertiveness. However, this is not true. Assertiveness promotes effective communication and allows individuals to express their needs and concerns openly and honestly. It fosters trust, mutual understanding, and respect in relationships, leading to stronger and healthier connections. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Being _______ is being influenced by peer pressure

    Correct Answer
    passive
    Explanation
    Being passive means being easily influenced or controlled by others. In the context of peer pressure, being passive implies that a person is more likely to go along with the opinions, actions, or behaviors of their peers, even if they may not personally agree or feel comfortable with them. This suggests that the individual lacks assertiveness and may prioritize fitting in or avoiding conflict over expressing their own thoughts and values.

    _____________ is standing up for what you believe in.

    Correct Answer
    Assertiveness
    Explanation
    Assertiveness is the act of standing up for what you believe in. It involves expressing your thoughts, opinions, and needs in a confident and clear manner, while also respecting the rights and opinions of others. Assertiveness allows individuals to communicate their desires and boundaries effectively, without being passive or aggressive. It is an important trait that promotes healthy communication, self-confidence, and the ability to advocate for oneself.

  • 5. 

    Others will ________ you if you are assertive.

    Correct Answer
    respect
    trust
    N/A
    Explanation
    When you are assertive, it means that you confidently express your opinions and stand up for yourself. In this context, if others respect you, it means that they acknowledge and admire your assertiveness. Respect is shown when others value your thoughts and feelings, and treat you with dignity. Trust, on the other hand, is not directly related to being assertive. Trust is built over time through consistent behavior and reliability, and it may or may not be influenced by assertiveness. Therefore, the correct answer is respect, as others are more likely to respect you if you are assertive.

    An example of effective assertiveness is having good ______________ with the person you are speaking to.

    Correct Answer
    Eye contact
    Explanation
    Eye contact is an example of effective assertiveness because it demonstrates confidence and engagement in the conversation. When someone maintains eye contact, it shows that they are actively listening and interested in what the other person is saying. It also conveys a sense of trust and openness, allowing for better communication and understanding between both parties. Overall, eye contact is a non-verbal cue that enhances assertiveness by establishing a strong connection and conveying a message of attentiveness and respect.
