Popis: This chapter employs modern psychology to analyze the way character and cognition are shaped in social roles and the way theatrical roles affect actors. The analysis especially focuses on the causes of our identifying or not identifying with the selves we enact in social roles and the causes of the sense actors have that they “become” or do not become the characters they play. To provide a synthesis of these aspects of the psychology of acting and social role-playing, the discussion will draw on the observations of writers in areas ranging from sociological role theory to developmental psychology to the training of actors.
