Antagonistic Behavior Explanation: Antagonistic Behavior: Assertion Assertion People who are assertive are more willing to stand up for their views and are not afraid to overtly deal with conflict. This scale is a continuum that runs from passive (much lower likelihood for overt violence) to aggressive (a creator of conflict). Usually lower score are less prone to harassing or violent behavior because they dislike conflict. However, they are also subject to being harassed themselves, perhaps leading to a build up of anger and a potential blow up. Hope this will be a help.

prevent (the) others from being acknowledged as individuals Explanation: if I let you speak, you'll be able to express yourself, and thus everybody (yourself, I, and everybody listening) will know that you have a definite identity and your own thoughts and manners and everything else of your own. conversely, if I don't let you speak, you'll be nothing more than part of an audience, since you won't be recognizable as an individual (hence "individuazione"), you won't stand out and you'll just stay blurred... because there's just one person who deserves to stand out and who can have a personal identity... (and yes, this reminds me of so many people :) actually, the italian sentence sounds a little bit weird to me, since "individuazione" is usually found in psychological contexts taht are far more specific and far more specialized - anyhow, this is what it should mean here imo, and hth -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-12-17 19:29:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- La formazione dell'identità [modifica] Il processo di formazione dell'identità si può distinguere in due componenti: una di identificazione e una di individuazione. Con la prima il soggetto si rifà alle figure rispetto alle quali si sente uguale e con le quali condivide alcuni caratteri; produce il senso di appartenenza a un'entità collettiva definita come noi (famiglia, patria, gruppo di pari, comunità locale, nazione fino ad arrivare al limite all'intera umanità). Con la componente di ***individuazione*** il soggetto fa riferimento alle caratteristiche che lo distinguono dagli altri, sia dagli altri gruppi a cui non appartiene (e, in questo senso, ogni identificazione/inclusione implica un'individuazione/esclusione), sia dagli altri membri del gruppo rispetto ai quali ***il soggetto si distingue per le proprie caratteristiche fisiche e morali e per una propria storia individuale (biografia) che è sua e di nessun altro.*** (da wikipedia) |
