| Sesssion 8 Self Control |
Purpose
The goal of Session 8 is to increase students' awareness of different
social contexts and how to match their behaviors to the social context
they are in. Also, students learn the importance of exercising self-control
and utilizing assertiveness skills, in order to improve their chances
of making positive social bonds and achieving their personal goals.
Description
The primary activity is a classroom discussion and role play in which
students define self-control, provide examples of contexts in which
self-control is needed, and learn the consequences of having poor
self-control. The students complete a brief self-assessment ("Behavior
Checklist") of the extent to which they exercise self-control
in social situations. They participate in a demonstration of passive,
aggressive, and assertive behavior, and role play assertive responses
to hypothetical social situations. They conclude by discussing how
drug use contributes to poor self-control.
