Assertiveness Biology

Meaning

Assertiveness biology clinically describes the neuroendocrine and physiological underpinnings that facilitate goal-directed behavior, social dominance, and the ability to express needs and boundaries effectively. It represents the intricate balance of neuromodulators and steroid hormones that support confidence and reduce the physiological burden of social confrontation. This biological state is characterized by an optimal interplay of systems that regulate stress response and approach motivation.
