Watch the film “Ordinary People” (1980) with Donald Sutherland while thinking about these propositions from the Symbolic Interaction Framework:
An individual is most satisfied when he/she perceives self as doing a good job in his/her role.
The greater the perceived clarity of role expectations, the higher the quality of role enactment.
The more individuals perceive consensus in the expectations about a role they occupy, the less the role strain.
The greater the diversification of a person’s roles, the less consensus the person will perceive in the expectations about those roles which increases role strain.
Then write a 2-3 page essay in APA format that responds to this prompt:
Discuss ‘role strain’ from the perspective of each family member. Provide examples to support.
