Abstract
Japanese junior high school students are experiencing increasingly serious mental health issues based on interpersonal relationships. To resolve such interpersonal relationship issues, assertion education is needed to develop a mentality of self-respect and respect for others, thus enabling a form of communication that demonstrates mutual respect. In this study, the objective was to develop an assertion training (AT) program to be practiced by homeroom teachers and then investigate its effectiveness. The participants were 344 first through third graders from public junior high schools. The AT program was administered through lessons that lasted 50 min per session. The results suggest that this AT program may be effective in enhancing the assertion skills of junior high school students and fostering respect for self and others.
