The interview with C. J. Pascoe highlights the peer pressure that males can face in school to conform to certain ideals of masculinity. If a high-school football player were to face pressure from peers to live up to the woman-chasing "stud athlete" role while also attempting to be a model "pure" Christian to his church peers, what sociological problem would this student be facing?

Answer:Role conflict

Explanation:role conflict (social role conflict) occurs when a person is facing a situation whereby they need to choose between contradicting roles which are competing or are incompatible with each other . This person knows s(he) is expected to take part in these roles but they can't do them all at once.

Boys has to be masculine and chase after girls but pure Christianity forbids such behavior, so they get torned between the two.
