When compliance with one role requirement makes it difficult to comply with another, the result is role conflict.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In evaluating statements about role concepts, it helps to recall how sociologists distinguish different pressures from social roles.
Option 1: 'True' — The idea that complying with one role requirement can make it difficult to comply with another aligns with the concept of role conflict. Role conflict occurs when two or more roles (or expectations within overlapping roles, such as being a parent and an employee) demand incompatible behaviors, making it hard to satisfy all requirements simultaneously.
Option 2: 'False' — If we labeled this as false, we’d be implying that there is no tension between conflicting role demands. However, the term role conflict specifically captures that tension, so denying it would ignore a well-established concept in role theory. It would also overlook situations where duties pull a person in opposite directions.
To further clarify, note the alternative idea of role strain: that is tension within a single role due to competing expectations from within that same role, rather than between different roles. The statement in question concerns conflicts across roles, not strains within one, which is why role strain would not be the most accurate label for this description.
In sum, the statement describes a classic scenario of role conflict, where one set of role expectations interferes with another. The alternative would require redefining the situation away from inter-role tensions or mislabeling it as something like role strain or role ambiguity, which does not fit as cleanly.
