Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) When compliance with one role requirement may make it difficult to comply with another, the result is role conflict. Michael is experiencing conflict between his role as a church member and his role as an employee.

Answer to Question 2

Our view of how we're supposed to act in a given situation is role perception. We engage in certain types of behavior based on how we believe we are supposed to behave. We get these perceptions from stimuli all around usfor example, friends, books, films, television.

Role expectation is the way others believe you should act in a given context. The role of a U.S. federal judge is viewed as having propriety and dignity, whereas a football coach is seen as aggressive, dynamic, and inspiring to his players.
