Role distancing
(what to read?)
People
play many different roles all through their lives, such as sons, husbands and fathers. However, under certain circumstances, people may want to adapt to new social roles rather than keep the roles they are currently playing.

What to listen?
That is the definition of the phenomenon which we call, er… “Role Distancing”. To help you understand this phenomenon better, here is an example. Suppose you were a 13-year-old boy and you were playing with your friends in the living room. Now your mom came in and asked you to finish your kitchen duty, that is, to wash dishes piled up in the sink.
You still had to wash the dishes for sure, but you did not want your friends thinking that you were a nice, good kid. Then you walked into the kitchen slowly, or you dragged yourself out of the living room, so that all your friends would know that you were unwilling to accept your social role as a kid anymore.
