Obvious control of our behavior by others is often aversive. That is, if we think it’s our idea, or we feel like we’re just doing what is the thing to do in a situation, we’re fine. If, however, someone tells us to do what we felt like doing anyway, or what felt like the right thing to do in a situation, we’re annoyed by it – and may even opt not to do it, or countercontrol – fight against it – if the control exerted by the other person becomes “assertive” enough.
