Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The research aimed at studying Marital Adjustment and Marital Satisfaction in participants experiencing high workplace stress and low workplace stress residing in Mumbai. The sample size consisted of 120 working females i.e. 60 participants experiencing high workplace stress and 60 participants experiencing low workplace stress. Methods: The Convenience and Snowball non-probability sampling method was used to collect data in person and online through google forms. The tools employed were Marital Adjustment Test (MAT) given by Locke, H.J., Wallace, K.M. (1959), Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) given by Hendrick, S.S (1988) and Workplace Stress Scale (WSS) given by Harris Interactive, Marlin Company, North Haven and The American Institute of Stress (2006). Results: Descriptive statistics was used to calculate statistical properties and age of the participants. To find the difference between two groups WSS (High and Low), independent t-test was used to find the significance level. The t value obtained for MAT was -.760 and RAS was -1.763 with degree of freedom 118. The results obtained were found to be insignificant. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the workplace stress category of females had no effect on marital adjustment as well as on marital satisfaction. However, despite supporting past studies, it was found that there was no significant relationship between the levels of workplace stress and marital adjustment and marital satisfaction.
