Anita Moral, Beena Singh

Abstract :

Objective: To find out difference between working and non–working women on anxiety scale. Method: The study comprised of 100 working and 100 non–working women randomly selected from Meerut City. To measure anxiety between both groups, Sinha Comprehensive Anxiety Test (SCAT) was used which consists of 90 items. Results: To compare between two groups on anxiety scale the obtained data were statistically analyzed by ‘t’ test. Results revealed that both groups were significantly differing on the level of anxiety. Results have shown a higher level of anxiety in working women as compared to their counterpart. Factors like dual responsibility in home and profession for working women play a major role in experiencing more anxiety as compared to house–wives (non–working women)
