Feedback
A Role ambiguity involves unclear role expectations. This client is not expressing doubt as to what her roles are.
B Role strain is a feeling of frustration when a person feels inadequate in or unsuited to a role, such as with gender role stereotypes.
C Role conflict results when a person is required to assume simultaneously two or more roles that are inconsistent, contradictory, or mutually exclusive. The lone parent who is having difficulty managing working long hours and trying to raise her children, as she perceives she would like to, is experiencing role conflict.
D A gender role stereotype describes an expectation that something is a man's role or a woman's role because the position has been typically held by a man or woman. This client is not expressing concern about a gender role stereotype, but rather about managing two contradictory roles.
