What is Sociometry?  

Sociometry is a quantitative method for measuring social relationships. Developed by Jacob L. Moreno, it involves analyzing the patterns and structures of social interactions within a group. Sociometry aims to uncover the underlying social connections, such as friendships, alliances, and conflicts, by mapping out the preferences and choices individuals make regarding their relationships with others. This approach is often used in psychology, sociology, and organizational studies to improve group dynamics, enhance communication, and resolve conflicts. 


Role Reversal is a powerful technique where two individuals switch roles to step into each other's perspectives. This method helps participants to gain a deeper understanding of the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of others within the group. By embodying someone else's role, individuals can develop empathy, resolve conflicts, and enhance interpersonal relationships. This technique is widely used in therapeutic settings to facilitate insight and promote emotional healing.
