Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steve is experiencing role overload, which occurs when the demands of multiple roles or responsibilities exceed a person's ability to fulfill them. In this case, Steve's role as a student with five finals, his role as an athlete with the upcoming swim meet, and his role as an employee with work are all causing him to feel overwhelmed and stressed. Status overload and strain refer to issues related to social position and power, and are not relevant to this scenario.
