"An example of role conflict would be a husband and father who is also Chief of Police. If a tornado strikes the small town he is living in, the man has to decide if he should go home and be with his family and fulfill the role of being a good husband and father"

Role Conflict
Requirements for different roles might compete for a person’s limited time or it could occur due to various strains associated with multiple roles. Some people can play one role and play it well while others can can play multiple roles and also play them well. For example, we see a father as the provider and the protector while we see the women as the housewives, cooking and cleaning. If a man were to enter into the kitchen and proceed to cook, we might feel that he is acting inappropriately for his role and the same goes as if a woman was to do handy work in the household.

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 dont 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 ina certain religion but one of the children do not, this can also lead to religious role conflict.
