1. Hannah and Matt were on campus after their class working on a group project. A
few of their classmates were assigned to do a class presentation on autism in their
psychology course. Hannah and Matt were interested in the topic and thought their
group worked well together so far. Inevitably, one of the group members brought up
the discredited report that falsely linked autism to vaccines. Matt agreed that these
past reports were nonsense but wondered why so many vaccines are still a
necessity today.
Positive: ____________________________________________________________
Negative: ___________________________________________________________
2. This was Megan and Austin’s favorite time of year. Although the new school year
had just begun and it meant there would now be lots of homework, it also meant the

time hanging out with their group of friends. They had been at the party for about an
hour. Megan noticed Austin keep checking the time. He told her that he had to leave
for a short time before the game to go to the weekend medical clinic to get his flu
shot.

3. Nick and Sarah had recently signed up to volunteer at the university’s daycare
program. Both wanted to gain extracurricular experience working with young
children. They were planning to major in psychology and early childhood education
and thought this was a good opportunity to gain experience working with young kids.
It was almost the children’s snack time when Sarah noticed that a few children were

for a news segment that announced an interview between parents who have decided
against vaccinations for their child and a panel of pro-vaccine pundits.

WHAT IS IT

Reading: TYPES OF RESPONSES

Let’s Analyze Geneva Story:

Geneva has been standing in line for over two hours to buy a concert ticket. The rule
is, one person, one ticket. Her feet are killing her and she knows she is in trouble with her
mom, who is expected her home by now. But there are only five people left in front of her
and she is sure she will get a ticket. Out of nowhere, two girls from school walk up, make a
big deal about meeting up with their friend who just happens to be standing in front of
Geneva, and take places in line in front of her.

4
Processing Questions:
1. What do you think Geneva should do?
2. How will Geneva feel? How will the girls feel?
3. What will be the worst possible outcome?

Passive response: Behaving passively means not expressing your own

needs and feelings, or expressing them so weakly that they will not be addressed.
 If Geneva behaves passively, by standing in line and not saying anything, she
will probably feel angry with the girls and herself. If the ticket office runs out of
tickets before she gets to the head of the line, she will be furious and might
blow up at the girls after it's too late to change the situation.
 A passive response is not usually in your best interest, because it allows
other people to violate your rights. Yet there are times when being passive
are the most appropriate response. It is important to assess whether a
situation is dangerous and choose the response most likely to keep you safe.

Aggressive response: Behaving aggressively is asking for what you want or

saying how you feel in a threatening, sarcastic or humiliating way that may offend the
other person(s).
 If Geneva calls the girls names or threatens them, she may feel strong for a
moment, but there is no guarantee she will get the girls to leave. More
importantly, the girls and their friend may also respond aggressively, through
a verbal or physical attack on Geneva.
 An aggressive response is never in your best interest, because it almost
always leads to increased conflict.

Assertive response: Behaving assertively means asking for what you want
or saying how you feel in an honest and respectful way that does not infringe on
another person's rights or put the individual down.
 If Geneva tells the girls they need to go to the end of the line because other
people have been waiting, she will not put the girls down, but merely state the
facts of the situation. She can feel proud for standing up for her rights. At the
same time, she will probably be supported in her statement by other people in
the line. While there is a good chance the girls will feel embarrassed and
move, there is also the chance that they will ignore Geneva and her needs will
not be met.
 An assertive response is almost always in your best interest, since it is your
best chance of getting what you want without offending the other person(s). At
times, however, being assertive can be inappropriate. If tempers are high, if
people have been using alcohol or other drugs, if people have weapons or if
you are in an unsafe place, being assertive may not be the safest choice.

5
 WHAT’S MORE

Directions: Assertiveness is the ability to express your wishes and beliefs in a

positive way. Too little assertiveness can make you a doormat. Too much, and you
can be bossy and aggressive. Assess yourself if you are assertive?

1. Think of a time when you were a doormat.

What happened? ______________________.
What did you do? _____________________.
How did you feel? _____________________.
Now think of a better way to handle that situation in the future. Write a better
response and practice it.

2. Think of a time when you were too bossy.

What happened? ______________________.
What did you do? _____________________.
How did you feel? _____________________.
Now think of a better way to handle that situation in the future. Write a better
response and practice it.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Directions: What have you realized after exploring on how to express or hide both

 ASSESSMENT

Directions: Refer to the situations used in the “What’s New” part of this lesson.
Analyze each of the situations and tell whether the underlined character is doing the
passive response, aggressive response, or assertive response. Support your answer
enlightened with the learning you acquired from this topic.

Name: ______________________________ Grade & Section: ______________

Date: _______________________________ Score: ______________________
Ex. Mayka furrowed her brow and felt very confused. She told Cathleen that she
did not think vaccines were a good idea if they caused people to become sick with
the disease they were designed to later prevent. Cathleen explained this was not
true. Mayka was still feeling perplexed he continued to study. She grabbed her
textbook and flipped to a new chapter.
Answer: Aggressive response, because Myka is showing non-verbal sign of
disagreement to what Cathleen has explained.
1. Matt got flustered and felt very embarrassed. He didn’t know much but he said
that because many diseases have been eradicated and are no longer present in
the United States, most vaccines are no longer needed. Hannah interjected and
told Matt this was incorrect. Hannah explained further. Matt felt humiliated by
what Hannah’s done to him.
_______________, because _______________________________________.

2. Megan’s eyes widened and she felt very astonished. She thought vaccines
contained toxic chemical ingredients like formaldehyde. Megan said it was
important to keep our body pure from toxins and that vaccines piercing her skin
would contaminate her body. Austin told her this was not true. Austin continued
to explain about people’s incorrect belief that a substance is either safe or
dangerous.
_______________ , because _______________________________________.

3. Sarah told Nick that she thought that theses Day Care children were getting too
many vaccines soon. She thought multiple vaccines would overwhelm their
immune system and cause damage. Nick without any basis agreed with Sarah’s
opinion.
_______________ , because _______________________________________.

4. Josh's eyes widened and he felt very astonished. He thought too many people
were advocating for vaccines and said she shouldn’t bother with getting
vaccinated since developing immunity naturally from diseases is better than
vaccine-acquired immunity. Melissa said this was not true. Josh was optimistic
about this information and was still feeling hopeful listening to Melissa’s
continued explanations.
_______________ , because _______________________________________.

5. Ryan’s face flushed because he was angry. He was endlessly hearing about
pro-vaccine promotion on the news. He told Michael that he thought that parents
were right to act independently and that the number of parents asking for
exemptions from vaccines was getting higher. Michael replied and told him that
the data and information were not accurate and explained it to him thoroughly.
Ryan was so angry because he did not accept corrections from his friend and
he felt annoyed.
_______________ , because _______________________________________.
Note: Point system will be 1 point per correct answer and 2 points for the explanation depends
on the correctness of the reason. Wrong answer could not possibly give correct reasons.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY/IES

Directions: Study the following for additional information about the topic.
As we now know that, positive and negative emotions are both vital for a
healthy and well-rounded life.
Positive and negative emotions play important roles when it comes to your
mental aspects.
For example, positive emotions have been shown to impact the brain in the
following ways:
• They can increase our performance on a cognitive task by lifting our spirits
without distracting us like negative emotions do.
• Positive emotions can trigger the reward pathways in the brain, contributing to
lower levels of a stress hormone and greater well-being.
• Positive emotions may help us broaden our horizons and widen our brain’s
scope of focus.
Meanwhile, negative emotions are known to affect the brain in the following
ways:
• Facilitating emotional conflict processing, helping us to make sense of
incongruent or conflicting emotional information; in other words, negative
emotions can help us figure out tough emotional problems.
• Facilitating cognitive conflict processing, aiding us in comprehending
incongruent or conflicting cognitive information; in other words, negative
emotions can also help us make sense when we receive confusing signals.
• Reducing the experience of empathy, which can help protect us from
getting too involved with others and stay focused on our goals.

Both positive and negative emotions have impactful roles…

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TO MANAGE THEM BOTH IN HEALTHY WAYS.

 WHAT IS IT

Reading: WAYS TO MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS

A part of growing up is learning how to “Be the Boss of the Feelings”, it is

normal to experience many feelings, and you developed tools to help them express
and manage their difficult feelings. Here are some challenges:
The Smile Challenge:
Next time you are feeling sad or grumpy, smile at someone or try to make
someone laugh. Notice how making someone laugh or smile makes you smiles too.
The Breathing Challenge:
Next time you are upset, feeling nervous, or can’t get to sleep. Take your
hand and put it on your heart or your tummy. You may like to close your eyes and
count five breaths. With each full breath, that’s one breath in and one breath out,
press one finger, and then the next, against your tummy. Do this five times with long,
slow, easy breaths. After the five breaths, open your eyes. Does it make you feel
better?
The “Bee Breath”:
If you start to feel angry or upset, sit quietly with your hands in your lap. Close
your eyes and make an angry face. Then take a deep breath in and as you breath
out, hum or buzz that angry bee out. Keep buzzing using all your breath. Now make
a happy face, breathe in again, and make a happy humming or buzzing sound as
you breathe out. Keep buzzing until you feel that the angry bee in gone.

Managing Emotions
How do you deal with your emotions? Learning to recognize emotions and
deal with them in healthful ways are especially important to good mental health.

Dealing with emotions in Positive Ways

There are some strategies for interpreting and responding to most emotions:
• Look below the surface of your emotion – you may asked yourself “What am I
really reacting to?” “Does the intensity of my emotion match the situation?”.
• Consider the situation – you must to consider whether or not the situation to
which you are reacting will matter tomorrow, next week, or next year.
• Consider the consequences – don’t take action on a strong feeling until you have
thoroughly considered the possible consequences of your action.
• Use positive feelings – using positive feelings will inspire you. Relieve negative
or upsetting feelings by engaging in physical activities or by talking to a family
member.
• Seek help – If a negative feeling doesn’t go away, seek help from a parent,
another trusted adult, or a health care professional.

13
Managing Difficult Emotions
In dealing with intense emotions:
• Take slow, deep breaths and relax when you feel your emotions building.
• Control your feelings by analyzing the situations that cause them.
• Get away from the situation to compose yourself.
• Write in private journal or play music.
Using Defense Mechanisms
You may try to avoid emotions that cause you discomfort by using defense
mechanisms. For instance, the use of suppression can provide a temporary escape
from an unpleasant situation. In the long run, however, defense mechanisms may
keep you from facing what is really troubling you. Here are common defense
mechanisms:
• Repression – involuntary pushing of unpleasant feelings out of conscious
thought.
• Suppression – conscious, intentional pushing of unpleasantness from one’s
mind.
• Rationalization – making excuses to explain a situation or behavior rather than
directly taking responsibility for it.
• Regression – reverting to behaviors more characteristic of an earlier stage of
development rather than dealing with the conflict in a mature manner.
• Denial – unconscious lack of acknowledgement of something that is obvious to
others.
• Compensation – making up for weaknesses and mistakes through gift-giving,
hard work, or extreme efforts.
• Projection – attributing your own feelings or faults to another person or group.
• Idealization – seeing someone else as perfect, ideal, or more worthy than
everyone else.

In Handling Fear
Fear is an emotion many people work to overcome. Overcoming fear requires
a strategy:
• Identify your fear
• Analyze the situation that causes fear
• Talk about your fear with someone you trust
Some fear is healthy and natural; only when fear is irrational or uncontrollable
should you consider it a problem.

In Dealing with Guilt

• Try to get at the underlying source of your guilt and address that issue
• Resolve to be more careful and responsible in the future.
• Discuss the situation with family or friends.

In Managing Anger
The first step in constructively dealing with anger is similar to dealing with
guilt: try to get at the underlying source and address it.
