Male Assertiveness

Meaning

Male Assertiveness, viewed through a clinical and endocrinological lens, is the psychological capacity for expressing one’s needs, opinions, and boundaries in a direct, honest, and socially appropriate manner, a trait significantly influenced by the balance of circulating androgens and associated neurochemicals. It is a key behavioral phenotype, distinct from aggression, characterized by self-confidence, effective social navigation, and goal-directed behavior. This trait is often considered a functional marker of optimal male hormonal health and robust neuroendocrine balance.
