Explanation:

"Role Conflict" and "Role Strain" are different occurrences in a person's life, but they may be alike in some ways.

"Role Conflict" refers to the many roles that a person needs to accomplish owing to having many statuses. For example, a mother may assume the role as a housewife (first status) at home and as a teacher (second status) outside the home. These are the two things that she needs to juggle in order to achieve her goals. This means that she has more than one responsibility or desire.

"Role Strain" refers to roles that a person needs to accomplish owing to one status. For example, a mother's role strain would be dealing with many tasks at home such as cleaning the house, cooking for the family, doing the laundry and budgeting the money for the entire week. This means that she has more than one responsibility or desire.

Thus, both role conflict and role strain arises from the person's more than one desire or responsibility. Such behaviors are expected from their specific statuses.
