Editing Role (section)

== Role enhancement ==
Role enhancement or ''role enrichment'' refers to a situation in which roles which are held by a person are compatible and moreover enacting one role has beneficial [[spillover effect]]s on the enactment of the other role. An example of role enhancement is a nurse who assists a patient in improving relationships by "clarifying and supplementing specific role behaviors".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/role+enhancement|title=role enhancement|website=TheFreeDictionary.com|access-date=2019-12-03}}</ref> Some evidence indicates that role conflict and role enhancement can occur simultaneously,<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Beth Tiedje | first1 = Linda | last2 = Wortman | first2 = Camille B. | last3 = Downey | first3 = Geraldine | last4 = Emmons | first4 = Carol | last5 = Biernat | first5 = Monica | last6 = Lang | first6 = Eric | year = 1990 | title = Women with Multiple Roles: Role-Compatibility Perceptions, Satisfaction, and Mental Health | journal = Journal of Marriage and Family | volume = 52 | issue = 1| pages = 63| jstor=352838 | doi=10.2307/352838}}</ref> and further evidence suggests that [[mental health]] correlates with low role conflict and high role enhancement.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Grzywacz | first1 = Joseph G. | last2 = Bass | first2 = Brenda L. | year = 2003 | title = Work, Family, and Mental Health: Testing Different Models of Work–Family Fit | url = http://midus.wisc.edu/findings/pdfs/155.pdf | journal = Journal of Marriage and Family | volume = 65 | issue = 1| pages = 248–261 | doi=10.1111/j.1741-3737.2003.00248.x}}</ref> Also certain [[personality trait]]s, in particular traits linked to perceiving and seeking greater levels of support, are associated with lower inter-role conflict and increase inter-role enrichment.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Friede Westring | first1 = Alyssa | last2 = Marie Ryan | first2 = Ann | year = 2010 | title = Personality and inter-role conflict and enrichment: Investigating the mediating role of support | journal = Human Relations | volume = 63 | issue = 12| pages = 1815–1834 | doi = 10.1177/0018726710371236 | s2cid = 145239553 }}</ref>
