Effectiveness of Assertive Training in Developing Social-Emotional Competencies among Adolescents

Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental stage of transition from childhood to early adulthood carrying immense stress and pressure among growing youngsters. The elevated level of excitement often leads to emotional sensitivity and social problems among the growing adolescents. The present research aimed to determine the effectiveness of assertive training as an intervention to develop and improve social emotional competences among adolescents in Sialkot, Pakistan. The quasi-experimental design (pre-test – post-test with control test) was used. Data was collected by using simple random sampling technique. A sample of 40 adolescents was obtained and was further divided into two groups: experimental group was comprised of 20 participants (girls= 10, boys= 10) and control group with the same number. A demographic sheet and Social-Emotional Competence Questionnaire (SECQ) were used for data collection. The experimental group attended assertive training while the control group did not receive treatment. Paired sample t-test showed statistically significant difference in means of overall score of SEC before and after treatment (t = -15.50, p = .000). Moreover, the pre-post difference on the level of dimensions of social emotional competence was highly significant (pairwise t-tests; all p< .05) in the intervention group except on the dimension of decision making with (t = 1.67, p = .110). The findings of the experiment concluded that assertive training significantly improved the overall social emotional competencies among adolescents.
