Client A displays what type of behavior when saying, "We need to change topics. I don't like this one. I think it's for sissies like the rest of you guys."?

Assertive
Nonassertive (passive)
Aggressive
Noncommittal

The correct answer is: Aggressive

The statement made by Client A reflects aggressive behavior. This is evidenced by the direct confrontation in their communication and the derogatory term "sissies," which suggests an intention to belittle or insult others in the group. Aggressive behavior is characterized by expressing feelings and needs in a way that violates the rights of others, often through dominating or attacking language. In this context, Client A is not only dismissing the current topic but also attacking the character of those who may be interested in it, thereby asserting dominance or control over the conversation. This includes the use of dismissive language that can intimidate or shut down others' attempts to engage meaningfully. Understanding this type of communication is crucial for therapeutic recreation professionals, as recognizing aggressive behaviors can help in moderating discussions and facilitating a more supportive environment for all participants.
