Which element of a role is described as how the person assuming the role believes he or she should behave in the role?

1. Performed role

Correct Answer: 3

The perceived role refers to how the person who is assuming the role believes (or perceives) he or she should behave in the role. The ideal role refers to the socially prescribed or agreed-upon rights and responsibilities associated with the role. The performed role refers to what the person assuming the role actually does. Provision role is not one of the three elements of role described in the textbook.
