Official scientific title EFFECT OF AN ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING PROGRAMME ON SELF-ESTEEM AND ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS OF VICTIMS OF BULLYING IN A SECONDARY SCHOOL IN IBADAN, NIGERIA.
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial This study aims to assess the effect of an assertiveness training program on the self-esteem and assertiveness skills of victims of bullying in a secondary school in Ibadan. Bullying is a global problem observed in any school and research has shown the negative effect of bullying on victims and bullies alike. Victims of bullying develop psycho-social problems like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem etc. as compared to non-victims. Assertiveness training program is a structured behavioral intervention design to improve assertive behavior and interpersonal relations of people of different ages and background. Due to the reduced resources and socio- cultural differences in a developing country like Nigeria, it is not certain if some standard strategies on assertiveness training would be feasible. Hence the need to explore the concept of how assertiveness training produce efficacy on victims of bullying in a low income settings.
