Views on a) Role Conflict and b) Role Taking.
(a) Role conflict
It occurs when there are inconsistencies between the several
roles that a person assumes or performs in their daily lives. Conflict arises
when people disagree about what responsibilities for a particular role should
be, whether in the personal or professional realms. In some cases, the conflict
arises as a result of opposing obligations, resulting in a conflict of
interest; in others, it arises when a person has roles with different statuses;
and it also arises when people disagree about what responsibilities for a
particular role should be, whether in the personal or professional realms.
The Concept of Role Conflict .
To really comprehend role conflict, however, one needs first have a firm understanding of how sociologists view roles in general.
Sociologists (and others outside the discipline) use the term "role" to define a set of expected behaviors and obligations that a person has based on his or her position in life and in relation to others. We all have a variety of roles and duties in our life, ranging from son or daughter, sister or brother, mother or father, spouse or partner, friend, professional, and community.
Example:
When a parent coaches a baseball team that includes their son, for example, role conflict can arise. The role of the parent may conflict with that of the coach, who must be objective when deciding on positions and batting lineups, as well as interact with all of the children equally. Another role conflict may emerge if the parent's job limits the amount of time he can devote to both coaching and parenting.
(b)Role Taking.
Role playing is observing and comprehending a situation through the eyes of those who are engaged. This is a complicated social perception process. To accomplish this objective, one must overcome egocentrism and intuitively draw on a theory of mind, a comprehension of role perception and role playing processes, and allay this with a broad understanding of social behavior. Role modelling would be a pointless exercise without this skill, significantly limiting the possibilities of social learning.
The Concept of Roles Taking.
The concept of 'role-taking' has gained prominence in role analysis. Role-taking, also known as playing the other, is when a person responds by mentally or imaginatively putting himself in the shoes of another person in order to control his own conduct. He does this solely to meet the expectations of others, not necessarily in the direction of conformity. When discussing social interaction, sociologists coined the phrase 'role-taking,' which refers to when one actor initiates a behavior and other actors react to it.
Example:
For example, the youngster pretends to be a doctor while another child pretends to be a patient. To pretend to be a doctor, however, you must be able to predict what a patient would say and vice versa.
