A RATING SCALE OF ROLE WARM-UP IN PSYCHODRAMA
Keywords:
PSYCHODRAMAAbstract
Moreno ( 1946) and Sarbin ( 1954) are role theorists who have delineated the principles by which roles work. Both have focussed on role warm-up or degree of intensity of involvement in roles. The aim of this research was to define the theoretical construct of role warm-up in operational terms. Three categories of role warm-up were selected: role in process of warm-up, role in full state of warm-up, and conflicted role state.
