Concepts
and Definitions

An assertion is a stylistic
approach or technique
involving a strong
declaration, a forceful
confident and positive
statement regarding belief
or a fact.
Types of Assertion:
1. Basic Assertion

- It is a simple and
straightforward
statement for expressing
feelings, opinions, and
beliefs.
Types of Assertion:
2. Emphatic
Assertion

-It conveys sympathy to someone, and


usually has two parts: the first
encompasses recognition of the feelings
or situations of the other person, and the
second is a statement that shows support
for the other person’s viewpoint, feelings,
or rights.
Types of Assertion:
3. Escalating
Assertion

- This occurs when the other person fails to


respond to your basic assertion and
continues to violate your rights. You
gradually escalate the assertion and become
increasingly firm. It may even include the
mention of some type of resulting action on
your part, made only after several basic
assertive statements.
Types of Assertion:
4. I-Language
Assertion

- It involves the first person


pronoun “I,” and is useful for
expressing negative feelings.
Nevertheless, it constructively
lays emphasis on a person’s
feelings of anger.
