Abstract
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the cross-validity of the College Women's Assertion Sample (CWAS), a controlled observational measure of behavioral assertion. The face and content validities of the instrument were cross-validated in Study 1. In Study 2, 74 undergraduate women were tested with a complement of measures designed to assess two behavior constructs, assertion and anxiety, by using two assessment methods, direct observation and self-report. The results supported both the convergent and discriminant cross-validities of the CWAS and suggested certain circumstances in which CWAS data might be preferable to data generated from employing the self-report assertion measures included in this study.
