SOCIOMETRY BY DR. PRASHANT
DEFINITION The term sociometry relates to its Latin etymology, socius meaning companion, and metrum meaning measure. sociometry is a way of measuring the degree of relatedness among people.
Jacob Levy Moreno coined the term sociometry and conducted the first long-range sociometric study from 1932-38 at the New York State Training School for Girls in Hudson, New York. Jacob Moreno defined sociometry as the inquiry into the evolution and organizationof groups and the position of individuals within them.
A useful working definition of sociometry is that it is a methodology for tracking the energy vectors of interpersonal relationships in a group. It shows the patterns of how individuals associate with each other when acting as a group toward a specified end or goal (Criswell in Moreno,1960,p.140).
BRANCHES OF SOCIOMETRY 1. Research sociometry - Research sociometry is concerned with relational patterns in small (individual and small group) and larger populations. 2. Applied sociometry - Applied sociometrists utilize a range of methods to assist people and groups review, expand and develop their existing psycho-social networks of relationships.
