Justice Anand has been appointed to investigate into the corruption charges against his son, who happens to be director of a pubic company. The situation of Justice Anand can be referred to as :

Role conflict

Dual Role

Status set

Perceived Role

Explanation:

- Option 1: Role conflict ( Correct Answer)

This occurs when a person faces incompatible demands from two or more roles they occupy. Here, Justice Anand is both a judge (impartial investigator) and a father (with emotional ties to his son), causing a conflict between professional duties and personal relationships.

- Option 2: Dual Role

This means holding two roles simultaneously but doesn't necessarily imply a conflict. Justice Anand does have dual roles, but the key problem is the conflict between them, not just holding both.

- Option 3: Status set

Status set is the collection of social statuses a person holds (e.g., judge, father, citizen), but it doesn't emphasize conflict or challenge.

- Option 4: Perceived Role

This refers to how a role is expected or understood by others, not the internal conflict that Anand is experiencing.
