Status • A socially defined position in a group or society characterized by certain expectations, rights, and duties • Using your guide, note your: • Ascribed statuses • Achieved statuses • Which status, if any, would be considered your master status?
Roles • When we occupy a status, we play a role • What expectations are there in some of the roles you play? • Give an example of a relational (complementary) role in your life. • Have you ever experienced role ambiguity? If so, what was the situation?
Conflicts and Strains • Role conflict – occurs when one is pulled in different directions from different statuses (provide examples from your own life) • Role Strain – Incompatible demands are built into a single status (again, examples)
