Interactionist role model
The interactionist role model , more rarely referred to as the interactionist role concept , is a sociological theory developed by Lothar Krappmann in his dissertation from 1971 , in which the classic role theories are further developed. On the basis of symbolic interactionism, Krappmann determined the conditions for successful role acting. The interactionist role model was widely used in educational sociology .
Conditions of successful role acting
- Role norms are not rigidly defined, there is still room for subjective interpretation for role partners.
- In the respective interaction process, the role partners not only take on the current role, but also make it clear which other roles they still hold or have held.
- The consensus of the partners about their respective roles is not binding, the role interpretation remains tentative and compromised.
- Only those institutions are successful in which non-fixed role expectations have to be fulfilled automatically.
The model is in contrast to the assumptions of classic role theories, which assume that joint action is only successful if the roles of the actors are clearly defined and all those involved adhere to the same norms in the same way .
