Teoría de roles

The Teoría de roles, or Role Theory, explains how individuals behave based on the social roles they occupy, like being a worker, parent, or student. Each role comes with expected behaviors, responsibilities, and rights, shaped by cultural and social norms. People often adopt and adapt these roles to fit their situations, which helps maintain social order. The theory emphasizes that our actions are influenced by these roles, but we also have some flexibility within them. Understanding roles helps explain how social interactions work and how individuals navigate their place in society.
