Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Assertiveness skills are an effective method for controlling aggression by teaching clients appropriate tools for meeting their needs without infringing on the rights of others. The client can be taught about making I statements (I feel hurt by your remarks) instead of you statements (You hurt my feelings) to avoid making judgments by relating feelings rather than opinions and to develop better listening skills.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Some researchers and theorists believe that television, video, and movie violence portrays coercive behavior that results in the attainment of some material reward, social recognition, or successful retaliation against enemies.
