Role‐taking refers to social interaction in which people adopt and act out a particular social role. If, adapting Shakespeare, society is a stage, then people may be thought of as social actors performing roles, each the other's fellow player. Rendered more clinically, and following Ralph H. Turner, role‐taking is a process of anticipating and viewing behavior as motivated by an imputed social role. From the child playing at being “a mother” to the adult playing at being “a police officer,” role‐taking is a ubiquitous feature of social life. This initial definition belies, however, considerable theoretical and, even more so, empirical complexity.
