    • To assess the impact of a 10-week assertiveness training program on adolescents.
    • To investigate the role of group cohesion in assertiveness training outcomes.
    • To examine gender and age-related differences in adolescent assertiveness.

    Main Methods:

    • 85 ninth and twelfth graders participated in the study.
    • Participants were randomly assigned to assertiveness training groups.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant increase in assertiveness was observed in highly cohesive training groups.
    • Behavioral measures of assertiveness showed significant improvement.
    • Initial self-report measures indicated gender differences in discomfort.

    Conclusions:

    • Highly cohesive groups enhance the effectiveness of assertiveness training.
    • Assertiveness training can improve adolescent social skills.
