Stress factors associated with roles
Problems that stem from our roles can come from different sources:
Building a role
The Role of Grandparents in the Family

Content: Conflicting roles. In this section, we talk about two ideas. The first is conflict within the same role. This occurs when the role doesn’t fit the person. For whatever reason, we’re not able to adapt to what people are asking from us because their requests exceed our abilities. Their requests may also contradict our values, meaning we don’t feel comfortable acting on their wishes. The other type of problem is when two different roles conflict with one another. For example, I can have two different roles within one group such as being a scholar and continuing my studies or being a parent with a job. This situation would bring stress because it would be very difficult to meet the expectations that both roles require. Roles awarded.
