Relationship Between Gratitude and Marital Contentment Among Working and Nonworking Women

Abstract

The goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between thankfulness and marital contentment among working and non-working women. The sample size of 243 was determined by evaluating the significance (0.95), confidence interval (95%), and power (80%).Thus, a sample of 300 women was chosen, with 150 working in various positions and 150 living in the Hazara division of KPK. Working ladies (n= 150) and nonworking females (n= 150) were chosen using the Non-Probability (Convenience selection) method, with ages ranging from 20 to 60 years and education levels of 16 years or above. The participants were chosen based on their service status at various organisations, educational level (age 16 and over), and willingness to participate voluntarily. Non-working married women were also considered. The GQ6 has acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82) and consists of six assertions, each representing one element. Respondents rate their reactions on a 7-point Likert scale, which ranges from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7). High scores indicate a stronger level of thanks. The SWML approach was used to measure marital happiness, with a Cronbach's alpha of.84.
