Questions
1. Four options for dealing with life space violations: passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive. Research shows it makes sense to use assertion as one's "first and favorite" option, but there are times/circumstances under which the other options also make sense to use. Brainstorm the types of situations/circumstances when it may be most effective to use the following three approaches: passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive.
It makes sense to be passive when...
It makes sense to be aggressive when...
It makes sense to be passive-aggressive when...
2. There are times when people have the best of intentions to deliver an assertive message when having a difficult conversation about a life space violation, but they make mistakes during the conversation that minimize their effectiveness. What are some of those common mistakes people make during difficult conversations? Brainstorm a list.
3. What are the keys to developing and delivering an effective assertion message when someone has violated your life space? Consider what a person can do before he/she delivers the assertion message to the violator, what he/she can do during the delivery of the assertion message, and what he/she can do after the delivery of the assertion message to enhance the overall effectiveness of the difficult conversation. Please brainstorm a list of ideas.
