Investigation of Marriage Adjustment of Married Working Women and Married Non-Working Women

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine the marital adjustment of working and non-working married women and included 162 married women, 63 of whom were working and 99 were nonworking. In order to obtain the research data, the Marriage Adjustment Scale was used to determine the compatibility of the participants in their marital relations by using the survey method, which is one of the quantitative research methods. According to the findings obtained from the research, it was determined that the marital adjustment of working and non-working women did not differ. However, it has been determined that working and non-working women who share their responsibilities with their spouses have higher marital adjustment than those who do not share their responsibilities with their spouses. However, in both working and nonworking women, it was observed that marital adjustment did not differ according to age, spouse's age, education level, spouse's education level, duration of marriage, year of marriage and number of children.
