Role perception: an individual’s view of how he or she is supposed to act in a given situation (Robbins & Judge, 2015). Because of the evidence given in the court room, 11 of the jurors felt obligated to vote that the boy is guilty.
Role expectations: how others believe a person should act in a given situation (Robbins & Judge, 2015). All of the jurors expected the foreman to guide them towards their vote.
Role conflict: a situation in which an individual is confronted by divergent role expectations (Robbins & Judge, 2015). When juror 8 voted that the boy was not guilty, conflict arose between the different jurors.
