The Effectiveness of Assertiveness Training on the Levels of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression of High School Students

Abstract

The results of the current study show that conducting assertive training in high school students decreases their anxiety, stress, and depression. Given that high school years are among the most sensitive stages of one's life plus the fact that conducting such training programs besides their safe and low cost nature are effective and practical, it is highly recommended that such programs be carried out among high school adolescents.
