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. 

In sociometry, a role is the behavior pattern or function an individual assumes within a group. Roles are shaped by personal attributes, interpersonal dynamics, and the group's expectations. Understanding roles helps identify how individuals interact and contribute to the group's overall structure. 

Role development refers to how individuals' roles evolve over time. This evolution can be influenced by changing group dynamics, personal growth, and situational factors. Effective role development enhances group cohesion, improves communication, and supports individual well-being.
