ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the emotional distance between individuals. A method of evaluating the emotional distance between individuals is described by use of a game process wherein the players are provided with a number of hypothetical human interaction situations, offered a set of possible responses for each situation, and are also given an opportunity to create unique responses. A coding system is provided for prepared responses, and a response coding flow sheet is provided for determining the behavior category of the players's response. Players each set forth their response behavior code on the game board. The majority response is established, and the distance of each individual from the majority is determined. The method includes a scorekeeping system for determining the emotional distance between players responses. The method includes providing to the player a game score for the player's response selection wherein the value of the game score is based upon the player's ability to take the role of the other, i.e., the ability to respond to the same board position or behavior category. The winner of the game process is the player whose response choices express the least emotional distance between his response choices and the response choices of the other players.
