ROLE REVERSAL

Abstract

As a human relations training procedure, role playing is based on Moreno's (16) cardinal assumption that the enactment of prescribed roles increases the spontaneity and skill with which new roles can be taken. Although the effectiveness of role playing is supported by conceptual analysis (7, 21, 22, 23), clinical observations (5, 6, 15, 17, 24) and by experiments concerned with other types of questions (4, 8, 11, 13), no direct test of this assumption has yet appeared.? The present report describes an experimental evaluation of the proposition that role playing experience increases the spontaneity and skill with which new roles can be taken.
