Psychodrama Training Program Perth - Workshop 4 – June 2025 - Sociometry: Our Relational World

Sociometry -  Our Relational World

J. L. Moreno developed the term Sociometry to describe a set o methods to assist iindividuals in groups to make visible the depths, strengths and range of relational connections with each other and also for the group leader to be aware of the positions of group members and the overall pattern of relating and interactions. It provides open knowledge and an understanding of what our role is in each connection, and on what basis we choose. Knowledge includes what our preferences are, what criteria we use and maybe even discover what may or may not be free in our choices. . Having this knowledge of the reality of positive, negative or neutral relationships known to all, gives a basis for choosing next steps, and although challenging at times, it encourages an openness in interactions and opens room for exploration and creative responses.

Some aspects covered in the workshop include:

1.       Sociometric view of the structure of a system – inclusions/exclusions;

2.       Basic elements of sociometry; tele, networks, star, leader, isolate, rejectee, dyad, triangle. Identify application as group leader and group member.

3.       Sociometric questions, investigations, measures e.g., continuum, diamond of opposites

4.       Conduct a sociometric measure – developing criteria and explore responses

Anyone working with groups in education, community, health, mental health etc will gain inights helpful in their work.
