Why defend their social rights would be a necessary element in the educational process? Because assertiveness is somehow part of the personality, a kind of learned or acquired way of behaving against himself and other people might be genetically inherited or a gift. Ability to use and the use of assertive behavior should be known to us. You should think about when or if someone jumps in front of us in the queue, then releasing it to behave nieasertywnie, or is it more due to our kindness, or relationship to conflict situations. That's right, refuses to in such moments before the reaction because of, some favorable factors for the other person, such such as their age, whether the place is crowded, supposedly our defeat, we are not assertive. Of course, often happens that our behavior is different in many cases, situational and depending on which category we function. For example, if someone every day in organizational matters and important, behaving assertively, and despite many situational characteristics can not manipulate them in any way, then you can say about him, he is the person assertive? If the same person under different circumstances, situations of minor importance and without the her losses, forgives himself, then it behaves nieasertywnie? We can now, so make that a consideration of the division, the distinction between the behavior of the situation. Do you like you can categorize the diversity of this procedure within the same sex? Is that men are more unyielding, whether women exhibit a greater desire to fight for our rights? It seems that once again it depends on the situation. Indeed, if a woman puts on her in places such as work, where the social pressure, and male dominance has been through layers of time and history impaired in its action, does the same thing he does at home, where male-female relationships are held in isolation behind a wall? Is the power of words, the man and woman are equal to the opposite sex? The behavior of men and women may be different, so also because of their gender, but also depending on the location. Man, going to the store because he does not fight often, so viciously as the woman of your consumer rights.
Gender, place, situation, the nature of their operations, perhaps also the time of day and some extent, fatigue, and many other factors may affect our attitude. We often hear, because "you know what , I'm tired today, I will not argue, please ." Why is it that one person generally specify as assertive, and another not? With the help comes psychological rule of thumb, called heuristics availability (availability heuristic ) a . Indeed, if our imagination, more or less well-known person, there are fairly easy to images in which a weapon of their rights, then you can probably say about it, that is assertive. However, the heuristic is fraught with serious errors. For the first considered to be already widely accepted that the heuristics used memory and use it to put forward the opinion, however, in many cases, we tend to remember events deeper rare, other than those of typical and commonly perceived, occurring every day. That is the same, that if someone you know will all the time "silently next to us," behaved nieasertywnie, we're accustomed to this behavior, do not pay to no longer so closely attention. However, when there is a situation notorious for conflict is easier to come to us in memory and it will be easier to remember, recreate and be evaluated. Is the assessment is objective only because of the availability heuristic, or affect it are other factors? Perhaps these are the stereotypes. Enough so that we can assess, guided by the exception to the rule, it still influence the evaluation might have our existing prejudices. It seems therefore advisable, when making assessments that supported it must be to be not Only a long knowledge of the person, but also a lack of prejudice to her. The best achievement of this state, is taking a long-term research on the subject and increase knowledge of his subject, and the broadening of the theoretical achievements. But why would it serve, how not to build arguments and behavior of the expansion of consciousness, both ours and other people respect us.
Let's go back briefly to the perception of others, our stereotypes that cast light on the image of people living around us, in relation to already rooted in science thesis that the world around us is not reality, but its reflection. Research Kay Deaux and her colleagues showed that women are almost universally perceived as more caring and less assertive than men. 2 Getting to public opinion, that claim would we, as a beautiful, generalized stereotypes associated with gender. Social roles fulfilled by women once the society was limited, because to perform the duties associated with running a household. Then, their courage and dedication to the war fronts world etched them into the pages of history and social thought, as the essence of the nature of care. But caregiving can not be combined with high assertiveness, where life is at stake infant niepotrafiącego defend their rights.? Then his rights and the rights of women homemakers weapons, which is true, the roles once limited to the interior of the farm, but at the birth of the idea of \u200b\u200bwomen's emancipation, they passed the threshold of the house. Perhaps, so this stereotype is born because of isolation and lack of communication with the outside world, and not so much descend women to the role of housewives, as humiliating as a host. It should also be mentioned that the emancipation of women and the world wars, the role of women was also limited due to lack of pedagogical institutions - education for young children. In this role times those prevailing in the cases fulfilled, then the large households. In addition, education played a dominant role of men. While these considerations, including social changes of the nineteenth century, provides building a new stereotype, but it must be assumed that generally becomes more likely reality, at least in relation to the operations of the group. Therefore, sociologists and social psychologists, the availability heuristic deal should, within the larger groups, taking also into account the mathematical theory of large numbers and the probability of statistical error.
Referring to the argument from the beginning of the argument that assertiveness may be the result of evolution. Indeed, whether in the genes, or brain, if there is a record of history and social thought, experiences at least one family, this assertion would find support among representatives of social evolution (social psychology ewolutionary ) . From a Darwinian point of view, because there are important biological reasons for which women are more caring than men. But you can not with all certainty say that caregiving is more a part of the genetic nature of men. Can you be more caring and less assertive?
