Solution
The answer is: role set.
Explanation for each option:
Ideal type: This term, coined by sociologist Max Weber, refers to a conceptual model or a theoretical construct that serves as a measuring rod to compare real-life cases. It is not directly related to the social status of a school principal and their relationships with others.
Role performance: This refers to how an individual enacts their role, including the behaviors and actions they display. While role performance is related to how a principal might carry out their duties, it does not specifically encompass the relationships with other statuses.
Role set: This is the correct answer. A role set refers to the array of roles associated with a particular status. For a school principal, this includes their interactions and relationships with students, parents, teachers, and school staff, all of which are part of their role set.
Primary group: This term refers to small, close-knit, and usually long-term social groups, such as family and close friends, characterized by intimate, face-to-face interaction. While a principal may have primary group relationships, the term does not specifically describe the broader set of relationships associated with their professional status.
