Thanks for doing what you do best. Just want...Hi, <br /><br />Thanks for doing what you do best. Just wanted to share 2-3 points for this study:<br /><br />"Schollaert and Lievens aim to rectify this by investigating the utility of predetermined prompts for role-players during ACs. Turns out there are advantages for measuring certain dimensions (problem solving, interpersonal sensitivity)."<br /><br />Now it is useful to know that training helps in better prediction. This is something which is useful for any ADC.<br /><br />1) In my experience with Role-Plays, one of most influential factors is how much involved the Role Player is with his role. That is what makes all difference. Infact I think if a person can identify the immerse self with the Role, then prompt usage would be easy for such a person than other Role Player who is simply reading the lines.<br /><br />2) Majority of population in this study seemed to in mid 20s. A young person has ease of adaption than Managers who have crossed 35 yrs. So whether prompt training will work for a bit more rigid managers to get more out of ADC can be an area of research.<br /><br />3) A question comes to my mind that why only problem solving or interpersonal sensitivity showed improvement and others did not? <br /><br />Was it because prompt-training worked for all but Role Players were under pressure to give too many prompts? But then why subjects showed improvement in these 2 factors only over others? <br /><br />It could be that training would have worked on other dimensions if ADC was to focus only 2-3 dimensions instead of too many.<br /><br />Good that some research has kick started. I think we'll see more of it once ADC becomes economical and commoditize to conduct.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442424875896341411noreply@blogger.com
