Role conflict occurs when a person is expected to fulfill multiple roles that are incompatible with each other, leading to frustration and uncertainty. This often happens when the demands of one role interfere with the ability to fulfill the expectations of another role, such as when work responsibilities conflict with family obligations. Strain, incompatibility, and variation may also be related to role conflict, but they do not specifically capture the experience of conflicting role expectations.
