Description The problem of this investigation was to examine the validity of the Patterns of Social Adaptation (PSA) Assertion Scale. The instrument was administered concurrently with the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), to 10 8 undergraduate nursing students. All of the subjects were women; the mean age was 23.6. Significant correlations were found between the PSA self-report measure of assertiveness and four source traits of the 16PF: outgoing, assertive, venturesome and self assured. A multiple regression analysis suggested that self-report of assertiveness may be partially explained by these four 2 16PF source traits (R =.252). The results are consistent with a general hypothesis that the PSA has some validity as a measure of assertion. The nature of the relationships between the PSA Assertive Scale and the 16PF source traits also correspond with prior descriptive and empirical discussions of assertiveness.
