Sumario:This article revised a study develop by León & Vargas (2009) to adapt Rathus scale to a sample of higher education costarican students. The same data was used in order to test the multidimensional structure of the construct proposed by these authors in the original study. Also, it provides new evidence based in the analysis of the structures of covariance, convergent and divergent validity in the scale scores. It emphasizes the practical importance of distinguishing the diferent components of the assertive behavior in order to design appropriate interventions.
