Abstract

When we talk about assertiveness we describe a series of visible and assimilated behaviors that we exhibit in our daily lives, which must be developed since they are fundamental for positive interpersonal relationships. The purpose of this study is to determine if there are gender differences in assertiveness in new university students of Psychology. The Assertive Multidiversity Scale (EMA) was applied to a sample of 66 university students of both sexes, between 19 and 20 years old; For its study, this instrument is divided into three dimensions: Indirect Assertiveness, Non-assertiveness and Assertiveness. The methodology was quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective. As part of the results, it is highlighted that with regard to indirect Assertiveness, both participants have an average ability, which means that they resort to indirect means to communicate their ideas, feelings, opinions, especially through electronic means. . Meanwhile, regarding non-assertiveness, the study revealed that it was men who presented a slightly more accentuated tendency towards exhibiting these behaviors, compared to women. Finally, regarding the Assertiveness dimension, the female population showed a lower disposition to dominate this dimension in their social interactions.
