Emotional and social challenges experienced by Divorce and Non-Divorced/Married Women

Abstract

This  research  article provides  a  comprehensive  examination  of  the  emotional  and psychological   well-being   of   women,   with   a   specific   focus   on   comparing   the experiences of women who have gone through divorce to those who are married or have  not  experienced  divorce.  The  study  has  across-sectional  design,  encompassing  a sample   of   150   women   aged   30   to   45,   evenly   distributed   across   the   divorced   and married/non-divorced  groups.Assessment  tools  included  the  State-Trait  Anger  Expression Inventory  (STAXI),  Multidimensional  Scale  of  Perceived  Social Support,  UCLA  Loneliness Scale, and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). According to the findings, divorced women  were  more  likely  than  married  women  to  suffer  melancholy,  anxiety,  stress, loneliness, anxiety during social interactions, and high levels of mood, out, and overall anger. Additionally,  a  strong  correlation  between  emotional  and  social  issues  in  women  was demonstrated by the results. Additional findings indicated that the social support of friends and  significant  others  predicted  women's  feelings  of  depression  and  loneliness  as  well  as stress and depression.
