Comparison of Married and Unmarried Women on Personality Dimension

In the present study an attempt was made to verify the hypotheses that (a)-The married and unmarried women would significantly differ on neuroticism, (b)-The married and unmarried women would significantly differ on psychoticism and (c)-The Married and unmarried women would differ significantly on extraversion. For empirical verification of these three hypotheses a study was conducted on 40 married and 40 unmarried women. Eysenck' Personality Inventory (Hindi adaption by Prof. R. P. Sinha) was used for measuring personality dimension (neuroticism, psychoticism&extraversion). For the analysis of the obtained scores t-ratio was employed. The findings on the whole indicated that married and unmarried women differ significantly in terms of their neuroticism and psychoticism but in case of extraversion they do not differ significantly from each other.
