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.
