What are refusal skills designed to help individuals do?

  1. Say yes to peer pressure

  2. Negotiate better deals

  3. Say no to unwanted actions

  4. Facilitate group decisions

The correct answer is: Say no to unwanted actions

Refusal skills are specifically designed to help individuals effectively say no to unwanted actions or peer pressure. These skills empower a person to assertively and confidently refuse engaging in behaviors that may be harmful, unsafe, or against their personal values. By mastering refusal skills, individuals can navigate challenging social situations, particularly during adolescence when peer influence can be strong. The development of these skills is crucial for promoting personal autonomy and making healthy choices, as they provide strategies for maintaining one’s boundaries and avoiding negative influences.
