Answer to Question 1

Role-taking is the internal conversation we have with ourselves that allows us to anticipate others' behaviors. It allows us to take the viewpoint of another individual and then respond to ourselves from that imagined perspective. The ability to take another's role makes it possible to avoid the trial-and-error method, a highly inefficient mode of behavior.
