| Summary: | The use of the concept of role as the meeting point of theories of culture and theories of personality is examined and found to be caught in a double theoretical pressure. While serving to unite some of the generality of cultural theories with some of the specificity of personality theories, the concept of role is alternately stretched and constricted, resulting in a situation of theoretical ambiguity. This is due to the lack of a perspective which would strengthen the generalizing power of the concept of role without eliminating any of its specific reference. The following article attempts to outline such a perspective. |
