in the article, the authors substantiate the need to develop assertive behavior of adolescents in cadet classes. For this purpose, an assertive behavior training program for adolescents from cadet classes was developed. The content of the assertive behavior training program is aimed at developing cognitive, value, emotional, and communicative components. Work with adolescents was built on the principles of activity, research creative position, objectification (awareness) of behavior, partnership (subject-to-subject) communication. To assess the effectiveness of the developed program, the following diagnostic methods were used: the questionnaire "Study of the level of assertiveness" (modified by V. Capponi, T. Novak); the technique "Test of communicative skills" by L. Mikhelson (adapted by Yu.Z. Gilbukh); the method "Test-questionnaire of self-attitude" (V.V. Stolin, S.R. Panteleev). The article presents the results of testing the assertive behavior training program. The implementation of assertive behavior training ensures the development of positive self-attitude, self-acceptance and self-understanding, respect for themselves and other people, self-confidence, persistence and a competent type of response in the communication process in cadets.
