Abstract :
The present study investigated a model of the antecedents of assertiveness. In this model, family function dimensions were considered as exogenous variables, assertiveness as endogenous variable, and self-regulation as mediators. 265 students (121 girls and 144 boys) were selected from high school students of city Abarkuh by multistage cluster sampling method. For Data collection used from Three questionnaires: Family function (Epstein, Baldwin, & Bishop, 1983), behavioral self – regulation (Brown, Miller, & Lawendowski, 1999) and Assertiveness (Gambrill, & Richey, 1975). The hypothetical model was tested by path analysis and significance of the meditational effects were examined by Bootstrap method. The results indicated that the problem solving, emotional engagement and Behavior control dimensions of family functions were positive significant predictors of assertiveness indirectly through behavioral self-regulation as a mediator. Also, behavioral self – regulation was a significant positive predictor of assertiveness. The findings were discussed in terms of the applications for parents and increasing assertiveness in students.
