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:

    Primarily I am a passionately religious man, and my novels must be written from the depth of my religious experience.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.
    Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

    Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
