The Differential Effect of Role-Playing Conditions on the Accuracy of Self-Evaluation
Keywords:
Self-EvaluationAbstract
The hypothesis that different kinds of role-playing situations affect the accuracy of evaluating one's own behavior as shown through videotape feedback was tested. Two groups of 15 subjects each participated in a role-playing episode, one conducted under a mimetic-pretend condition and the other under a spontaneous condition. The results confirmed the prediction that subjects in the former group will produce more accurate self-evaluations than those in the latter group.
