A NOTE ON ROLE-PLAYING RESEARCH
Keywords:
ROLE-PLAYINGAbstract
We are living in an age in which the words "Empirical Evidence" assume a more and more relative meaning. In particular the social scientists studying patterns of human behavior of individuals in action need empirical validations to support the 'theoretical framework of the pioneers in the field. Paradoxically one such pioneer, J. L. Moreno, supplied the social scientist with a theoretical framework and a conceptual model to test this framework. The theory is the methodology of Psychodrama and the techniques of roleplaying. Perhaps, the simplicity of design overwhelmed the experimental social scientists who were searching for complex experimental designs.
