Krishna, Nandhana and Chatterjee, Sharmili (2025) Dyadic adjustment, resilience and self dignity among non- working and working women in service sector. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 25 (3). pp. 956-961. ISSN 2581-9615

This study utilizes a quantitative approach to examine the relationship between employment status and various aspects of psychological and relational well-being among women. By employing standardized scales to measure dyadic adjustment, resilience, and self-dignity, it compares these aspects between 62 working women and 57 non-working women. An Independent Samples T-Test analysis finds no statistically significant substantially affect cognitive, relational, or resilience factors. This suggests that employment alone may not determine mental health or relationship satisfaction. The results highlight the potential influence of coping mechanisms, social support, and individual traits in shaping these outcomes, implying that mental health interventions should cater to individual needs rather than focusing solely on employment status. The study recommends a broader approach that encompasses both working and non-working women to better support mental health and relational well-being. Noted limitations include the sample size and exclusive reliance on quantitative measures. Future research is encouraged to explore diverse samples and incorporate qualitative insights to deepen understanding of women's well-being across different employment contexts.
