Role Conflict - Religious Role Conflict

Religious Role Conflict

Religious role conflict occurs when there are changes in the different dimensions of religious roles. Unfortunately, It is not possible to know if changes in one aspect of one's religious commitment result in religious role conflict. But according to previous research, it in fact suggests it does find some support for the idea that changing beliefs lead to role conflict within religion.

Example of Religious Role Conflict: if an individual belongs to a certain religion that practices certain things that other religions don't mention or practice, and want to change or have ideas in changing their preference, this can lead to religious role conflict. Also if a family believes in a certain religion but one of the children do not, this can also lead to religious role conflict.

Famous quotes containing the words religious, role and/or conflict:

    What we must look for here is, 1st, religious and moral principles; 2ndly, gentlemanly conduct; 3rdly, intellectual ability.
    Thomas Arnold (1795–1842)

    This [new] period of parenting is an intense one. Never will we know such responsibility, such productive and hard work, such potential for isolation in the caretaking role and such intimacy and close involvement in the growth and development of another human being.
    —Joan Sheingold Ditzion and Dennie Palmer (20th century)

    Managing a tantrum involves nothing less than the formation of character. Even the parent’s capacity to cope well with conflict can improve with this experience. When a parent knows he is right and does not give in for the sake of temporary peace, everybody wins. The parent learns that denying some pleasure does not create a neurotic child and the child learns that she can survive momentary frustration.
    Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
