Abstract
The present research purported to study dominance and self-esteem in working, non-working and married, unmarried women. The sample of the present research consisted of 200 working, non-working and married, unmarried women. It was hypothesized that there was a relationship between dominance and self-esteem of working, non-working and married, unmarried women. It was also hypothesized that there was a difference between dominance and self-esteem among working, non- working and married, unmarried women. Tool that used to assess dominance and self-esteem was General Population Dominance Scale (Ray, 1976) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Cronbach alpha of all above scales was estimated to check reliability. Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between dominance and self-esteem. Results indicated there was significant correlation between the two variables. Independent sample t-test was also used to assess the difference in dominance and self-esteem among working, non-working and married, unmarried women. Results showed that there was a difference in dominance among working, non-working and married, unmarried women. There was no significant difference in self-esteem among working, non-working and married, unmarried women.
Keywords: Dominance, Self-esteem, Marital Status.
