What two complementary roles did the functionalist talcott parsons identify within the family?

Instrumental and expressive

Explanation:

Expressive roles and task roles, also known as instrumental roles, describe two ways of participating in social relationships. People in task roles, on the other hand, pay more attention to achieving whatever goals are important to the social group, like earning money to provide resources for survival.

The instrumental role is a functionalist understanding of the male's function in the family. This role's main purpose is to discipline and provide economic support for the family. Males who fulfil this role are considered to be power brokers in the relationship as they make all the decisions for the family.
