SPONTANEITY TRAINING AND ROLE PLAYING IN INDUSTRY

Abstract

Spontaneity training begins with the basic idea that people improve social skills by becoming involved in meaningful experiences and learning from these experiences. However, it differs significantly in the techniques and rationale it utilizes to reach this objective. Before an attempt is made to define spontaniety training a common misconception must be clarified. The misconception arises because of confusion between the goal of spontaneity training and its central technique. The basic training technique in spontaneity training is role playing. Role playing had been introduced into business situations (by Moreno) in the early thirties (1). Applications spread to all fields of management and business education.
