ABSTRACT
Social psychologists have observed that we organise our lives in a dramatic structure or framework. We can view ourselves and others in a series of scenes and episodes, some of which have a consciously predictable structure, such as when we organise a celebration or a formal meeting. Such scenes have a conscious ‘test’ and usually the ‘roles’ are prescribed. Each scene has its ‘key actors’, a ‘supporting cast’, and a known ending.
