Abstract

: The aim of the research is to identify and explain the relationship between anxiety and assertiveness, to determine if gender differences are related to the tendency towards assertiveness and anxiety level, and also to determine the relationship between assertiveness and anxiety in men vs. women. The research sample consisted of 201 respondents aged 20 to 50. The assessment tool used was the Anxiety Inventory (AT 29: Tovi-lović, S. & Novović, Z., Novi Sad Faculty of Philosophy), consisting of 29 items which describe traits of behaviours typically associated with anxiety: Extremely low anxiety, Low anxiety, Medium anxiety, High anxiety, and Extremely high anxiety. Another assessment tool was the Assertiveness Inventory (Tovilović, Okanović & Krstić, 2009), consisting of 27 items measuring the assertiveness response: Extremely low assertiveness, Low asser-tiveness, Medium assertiveness, High assertiveness, and Extremely high assertiveness. The results have shown that there is a significant negative correlation between anxiety and assertiveness (r= -.536; p<.01); therefore the inintial hypothesis has been proven correct. On the other hand, the results have not confirmed the significance of gender differences related to anxiety and assertiveness levels.

焦虑和自信之间的关系

本研究的目的是识别和解释焦虑和自信之间的关系，确定性别差异是否与自信倾向和焦虑水平有关，并确定男性和女性的自信和焦虑之间的关系。研究样本包括201名年龄在20至50岁之间的受访者。使用的评估工具是焦虑量表(AT 29: tovi - loviki, S. & novoviki, Z.，诺维萨德哲学学院)，由29个项目组成，描述了与焦虑相关的典型行为特征:极低焦虑、低焦虑、中等焦虑、高焦虑和极高焦虑。另一个评估工具是自信量表(toviloviki, okanoviki & krstiki, 2009)，由27个项目组成，测量自信反应:极低自信、低自信、中等自信、高自信和极高自信。结果表明，焦虑与自信之间存在显著的负相关(r= - 0.536;p < . 01);因此，最初的假设已被证明是正确的。另一方面，研究结果并没有证实性别差异在焦虑和自信水平上的显著性。
