y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


defensiveness, or humiliation. A statement that allows making one’s own decisions is an example of
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


assertive style of communication; the response of others to an assertive statement may include mutual
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


respect. DIF: Analysis REF: p. 7 TOP: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation MSC:
