Examples

““Most farm wives,” he [Alan D. Berkowitz] said, “report some degree of role conflict” – the sort of difficulty that arises, for example, when the wife is responsible for providing child care as well as carrying out her job. “And wives with extreme amounts of role conflict are more likely to experience psychological stress.””
“This being said, Dynes & Quarantelli (1976) found that such rôle conflict is a much less serious problem than has often been assumed.”
