Sociometry is a method for measuring social relationships among individuals in groups, focusing on the degree of acceptance or rejection they experience. It can be divided into research sociometry, which explores emotional networks, and applied sociometry, which enhances interpersonal connections within groups. Key tools include sociograms and sociomatrices for mapping relationships and understanding group dynamics, although limitations exist, such as instability in relationships and the potential for non-disclosure of true feelings.
