GENDER PECULIARITIES OF THE ROLE CONFLICT OF PERSONALITY: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The analysis of roles performed by a person can be carried out at three levels: sociological level, in which the role acts as a system of role expectations, derived from, a model given by society; socio-psychological level – a role mani- fested within interpersonal interaction; psychological level – on which the role is internal or imagined, which is not always implemented in role-based behaviour, but in some way affects it; the role here is a structural element of the gender identity of the individual. Gender role conflict is a contradiction either between the normative structures of different gender roles (inter-role conflict), or between the structural elements of one gender role (role conflict – intra- role conflict). Female gender-role conflicts can be purely role-based (for example, „housewife syndrome”) or inter- rolled (for example, a combination of family and professional roles), etc. Male gender-role conflicts are determined by the fact, that the norms of male gender roles remain more conservative and rigid than the norms of female gender roles. The model of „male role stress”, defines the characteristics of the male gender roles that are controversial and inconsis- tent and are a source of anxiety, tension and male problems. The negative consequences of male gender roles implemen- tation are the following: gender-role stresses, conflicts, intrapersonal conflicts and, as a result, compensatory courage, hyper-masculine behaviour and machismo as its kind, problems in the professional realization of person potential, etc. Keywords: social role, gender role, role conflict, female role conflict, male role conflict.
