Domain-specific

• Assertiveness
  • Assertiveness is behavior that states and defends a person's position or boundary clearly without submissively abandoning it or aggressively overriding another person's rights.

Mechanisms

• Graded Exposure Plan
  • It is the operational descendant of Wolpe's systematic desensitization, which pioneered the graded fear hierarchy — approaching a feared-but-safe target through ordered, ranked steps rather than a single plunge.

    This sourceUses an anxiety hierarchy and stepwise exposure beginning with less fear-provoking situations.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
