SOCIOMETRICAbstract
After reading "Role Playing Skill and Sociometric Peer Status", there was some question in this writer's mind as to just what the authors were trying to point out. Is it really meaningful to have shown that a statistical relationship exists between these two aspects of human behavior, especially in view of the fact that the relationship has been known to exist for many years? The entire body of knowledge and thought (psychodrama and sociometry) which underlie both the role playing concept and the sociometric determination of peer status supports the existence of this relationship. It is this writer's feeling that if the authors were more firmly grounded in the dynamics of psychodrama, and its underlying elements, spontaneity theory and role theory, they would have a better appreciation of the fact that this relationship exists and, in addition, would have some appreciation of why it exists, independent of any statistical evaluation to support it
