What Makes Cents 2.0

What Makes Cents serves as a practical guide for users navigating the complexities of assertiveness in interpersonal communication. It assists individuals in determining the appropriate intensity of asking for requests or declining offers based on their comfort levels and situational context. The application provides structured prompts to empower users in expressing their wants and desires effectively.

Upon responding 'yes' or 'no' to a series of 10 thoughtfully crafted questions, users receive tailored suggestions regarding the intensity of their requests or refusals. This system is designed to enhance assertiveness while fostering self-awareness.

It is essential to note that the app is designed solely as a guide and is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Users are encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare provider for any inquiries related to medical conditions. Professional advice should never be disregarded or deferred based on information presented within the app.

The framework of this application draws inspiration from the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Interpersonal Effectiveness module, specifically incorporating elements from the "Dime Game," "DEAR MAN," and "GIVE FAST" techniques. Developed by Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, Ph.D., A.B.P.P., DBT integrates cognitive-behavioral methods to cultivate effective communication skills.

Importantly, What Makes Cents ensures user privacy by not saving or accessing any personal data during its use.
