Abstract
The impact of migration and social change on male and female role expectations is examined in an urban Samoan community. Expanding role expectations and role conflicts in the urban context are linked to differential experiences of stress by gender, which are in turn examined with respect to the health outcomes of arterial pressure, a measure of physical health status, and a psychosomatic complaint index.Keywords
