Independent t-test, show that married working women significantly reported more somatic complaints (t= 2.00, df = 98, p< .048), social dysfunction (t= 2.31, df = 98, p<.023), anger (t = 2.10, df = 98, p < .038) and hostility (t=2.27, df = 98, p <.025) than non-working married women. However, working and non-working married women did not significantly differ on the variables of insomnia (t= .773, df = 98, p < .441) and depression (t = .709, df = 98, p < .375).
