“…Den Hartog (2004) describes cultural assertiveness as the extent to which those in a society are encouraged to be assertive or meek in relationships and to dominate one’s environment (see Eskin, 2003; Furnham, 1979; Tripathi, Nongmaithem, Mikovic, Ristic, & Zdravkovic, 2010 for examples of cross-cultural comparisons). Some cultures emphasize internal control where being tough is seen as more appropriate than softness (Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner, 1998).…”

Multinational organizations are increasingly looking to deploy assessments on a global basis. However, the social desirability of different personality characteristics may vary as a function of culture, yet limited research has explored this idea. Based on the GLOBE cultural dimensions and the theory of purposeful behavior, we examined potential connections between cultural practice dimensions and the desirability of personality aspects with a large personality item bank, utilizing raters across 34 countries. Findings indicated few connections of societal level cultural practices and social desirability perceptions for particular aspects. An exception to this was the finding that higher social desirability ratings were given for cooperativeness, sensitivity, and assertiveness in Confucian Asian, South Asian, and Sub-Saharan contexts compared with Germanic Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Latin Europe contexts. Limitations of the study as well as implications for development and use of personality assessments globally in high stakes contexts are discussed.

“…Dalam hal ini, nilai-nilai dan kepercayaan yang dimiliki seseorang berkaitan dengan bagaimana seseorang berperilaku (Eskin, 2003). Lebih spesifik, penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku asertif ditemukan lebih tinggi pada orang Eropa danAmerika dibandingkan Asia (Eskin, 2003;Tripathi et al, 2010). Hal tersebut karena negara Eropa atau Amerika memiliki budaya individualistik yang menjunjung nilai pribadi dan pengekspresian diri secara terbuka.…”

“…This could be a possible reason for reduced assertiveness when compared to western cultures. Since Indian culture is a patriarchal one, it encourages uncertainty-avoidance in relationships and hence people tend to be more submissive as compared to western countries where people tend to be more open and straightforward about their wants, needs and rights (Tripathi et al, 2010). According to Hinde and Groebel (1991), collectivistic cultures value goals and views of the ingroup as compared to individualistic cultures.…”

Assertiveness is the ability to be honest with one’s beliefs and interests while not denying the rights of others and includes behaviours like sharing one’s opinions, questioning ideas, being able to refuse request of others and firmly expressing one’s emotions without manipulation. Majority of Indians fall behind in being assertive due to various cultural factors and schemas they hold towards self and others. Since assertiveness impacts both the professional and social aspects of young adults, it is important to cultivate this behavior to take on the challenges faced. This study aimed to understand the factors which led to the development of assertive behaviour in college students despite the obstacles possessed. A qualitative descriptive design was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 college students from different parts of India who scored high on the Rathus Assertiveness Scale. The major themes which emerged were - facilitators for assertiveness, benefits of being assertive, obstacles to assertiveness, ways of performing assertive behaviour, and sex-based differences in assertiveness in the responses received and manner of being assertive. These findings can be implemented in assertiveness and communication skills training.
