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.
