Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Janet is experiencing role strain, which is the tension and stress that arises from trying to fulfill multiple roles with conflicting demands. In this case, she is trying to balance her academic responsibilities with her obligation to meet with her advisor, and the demands of her different classes are causing strain. Role conflict (A) refers to contradictions or competing expectations between different roles, while status incongruity (B) refers to a mismatch between one's actual status and their perceived or desired status. Status pressure (D) generally refers to the external pressures, expectations, or demands placed on an individual to conform to certain social expectations, and is not applicable in this scenario.
