Diego's teacher is good friends with one of his parents. Due to this relationship, Diego is often unsure of what he can discuss with his teacher. What is this an example of?

Role strain refers to the difficulties an individual experiences within a single role due to competing demands or expectations. While Diego may feel stress as a student, the primary issue stems from the conflicting expectations of his dual roles as a student and the teacher's acquaintance, not from stress within one specific role.

A status set encompasses all the social statuses an individual holds at a given time. Diego's situation does not specifically illustrate multiple statuses but rather highlights the conflict between his roles. The focus is on the conflicting expectations rather than the variety of statuses he embodies.

A master status is a social status that holds exceptional importance for an individual's identity, overshadowing other statuses. Diego's dilemma is related to conflicting expectations resulting from his relationship with his teacher, not the prominence of one particular status over others.
