Abstract
The current research explored the relationship between the daily hassles encountered by 30 to 40-year-old working women and the consequent changes in the reported levels of marital satisfaction. The sample size was 80. Self-report instruments, namely, Marital Satisfaction Scale (Amnthraj&Jai Prakash ), the Daily Hassles Scale (Basu, 2005), the Presumptive Stressful Life Event Scale (Singh et al., 1984) and the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg&Hill, 1990) were filled out by the participants to assess the respective domains concerned with the investigation. For methodological and interpretive convenience, the participants were divided into two broad groups by the median-split technique one having high and the other low marital satisfaction. Statistical treatment and analyses of the obtained data reveal lesser daily hassles reported by the high marital satisfaction group in contrast to the low marital satisfaction group. Implications and conclusions of the findings are mentioned.
