On this basis, a cluster analysis on the scores of self-reported assertive-checklist, students were divided into 3 groups, nonassertive, assertive, and aggressive. The results of analysis of variance revealed that the assertive participants had the lowest interpersonal stress events and stress responses. On the other hand, the aggressive students had the highest interpersonal stress events and stress responses.
