ABSTRACT
In a one-on-one interaction simulation (sometimes called an interview simulation or role-play exercises), the participant interacts with another person in a role-play scenario. The participant is typically “in charge” of the interaction and is responsible for initiating and managing the communication. For example, the participant could be assigned the role of supervisor who meets with a subordinate having a performance problem. In some interaction simulations, the participant meets with two or more people. For example, a participant could be assigned the role of a manager who meets with two representatives of a client firm to resolve delivery and service problems. In contrast to the leaderless group discussion where several participants are assessed at one time, in the interaction simulation only one participant is assessed.
