Question

Javoni is a senior in college with plans for attending medical school. To keep up her grades, she spends most nights and weekends studying and completing assignments. Brizy, Javoni's best friend and roommate, recently complained to Javoni: "You don’t have time to hang out. It’s been months since we’ve watched a movie together. We don’t talk like we used to." Javoni wants to be a good student but that’s keeping her from also being a good friend. Javoni is experiencing:a. role coalition.
b. role conflict.
c. role strain.
d. role reversal.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. role conflict.

Explanation:

Role conflict can be defined as incompatible demands faced by a person. these demands can be experienced by the person when he is pulled in various directions. Javoni is trying to respond to all the statuses she holds. For example in this scenario, she wants to keep up her status as a student and her status as a friend compatible to each other. Thus she is being pulled in conflicting directions to meet the demands of both these roles.
