Describe “Groups Addressing Socialization and Peer Interaction Skills”.

(Example: a group teaching girls “to act assertively rather than passively or aggressively”. First, assertiveness is eplained and examples of passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior are provided. Then group members perform role plays where they can practice skills, which is followed by discussion and evaluation of each role play’s effectiveness [example of a practice situation: your lab partner tells you that he wants to mix the chemicals and you can be the secretary. What do you do?)]
