A circumscribed set of behavioral functions defined by the requirements and aspirations of a specific aspect of one’s life. Normally, transitioning between roles is a fluid and ongoing process.
[Note: Roles are hierarchical; the most fundamental role is being human, typically followed by gender, family, social, professional, hobbyist, and transient functional roles.]
