Abstract
Managing the choice process for highly valued roles in psychodrama training groups is shared by the trainee, their peers, and the trainers. Access to these roles is essential for those studying to become psychodramatists. This article introduces an experimental sociometric tool designed to examine underlying perceptions held individually that have a collective impact on the students' choice-making process. Data from the Role Accessibility Perception Survey1 reveals to the participants an underlying hierarchy that, over time, may develop into subgroups. The survey results, when discussed, may be used to facilitate role relief for some while suggesting greater access to roles for others less highly chosen in the past. The impact of absences, ride sharing, and less visible norms on an ongoing training group's choice process may also be revealed. The survey is offered as an alternative to J. L. Moreno's sociometric test. A case example is included with participant's names changed.
