Re; clash with

Hello teachers,

Role conflict is defined as '' when a person has to play two incompatible roles at the same time.''

I'm not sure whether I can use Clash in my sentence.

Role conflict is defined '' when fulfilling one role clashes with another role that a person has to play.

Thank you for your response.

That use of "clash" is perfectly acceptable. I would suggest, however, changing the wording of your sentence slightly:

...when one role clashes with another...

or

...when fulfillment of one role clashes with that of another that a person has to play...
