Pushy demanding
Hi.
May I replace 'pushy' with 'aggressive' in:
"One potential process is that peers both reject an individual demonstrating CD (http://focus.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?Volume=2&page=558&journalID=21#Coie-and-Miller-Johnson-2001) and reinforce pushy and demanding behaviors through acquiescence. "
And what does demanding mean in the above sentence?
