Abstract

Communication is the basis of all social interaction activities in life. One of the important abilities for humans to have as social creatures is assertive communication skills. Assertive communication is the ability to convey thoughts, feelings, needs while still paying attention to the rights of others. Lack of assertive communication skills in adolescents is one of the causes of aggressive behavior. An initial survey conducted on a number of junior high school students who had aggressive behavior showed the lack of assertive communication skills possessed. This study aims to describe assertive communication skills in early adolescents who have aggressive behavior, using the Assertiveness Scale for Adolescents (ASA). This research is a descriptive study with a sample of 147 adolescents selected using the purposive sampling method. The results showed the highest communication skills were aggressive communication (59.9%), unassertive or passive communication (26.5%), the lowest communication ability was assertive communication (13.6%). This research recommends that parents and schools are important to continue to provide assertive communication stimulation in adolescents.
