Resumen de Mexican ethnopsychology
Flores Galaz, Diaz-Loving and Rivera Aragon were concerned, about the middle of the eighties, about the absence in Mexico of an instrument to measure assertiveness. The omission as the more obvious because many a clinical psychologist in México had been trained in behavior modification. They set about to determine what U.S. scale, showing adequate psychometric characteristics, had also been used in crosscultural research. They settled on Rathus´s 30 item schedule for assessing assertive behavior. Their goal was to construct a valid tool to assess this behavior in the mexican culture.
