 Abstract. Assertiveness in communication undoubtedly plays a crucial role in individuals' daily interactions. Assertiveness refers to the ability to transparently and confidently articulate one's thoughts and needs while respecting the rights and emotions of others. This paper presents the findings of a study on assertiveness and explores methods for its cultivation. The research employed the "assertiveness test" developed by V. Capponi and T. Novak (adapted by A. Agarkov in 2001) to assess assertiveness levels among 79 students from Petrozavodsk State University and St. Petersburg State University of Economics. The results underscore the importance of teaching assertive communication to students.
Keywords: assertiveness, aggressiveness, passivity, interpersonal interaction, human behavior
