Abstract
The study investigated the relationship of perceived stress and coping
among single working and non-working women. 50 single working
women, teaching at two government and private universities of Lahore
and 50 non-working women were taken, age ranging 25-40 years.
Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983) and
Brief Cope Scale (Carver, 1997) were used to investigate the association between the two variables. Results revealed that working and nonworking women differ in terms of perceived stress (M= 25.52; SD=4.38; p<0.01) and supportive coping (M=15.34; SD=3.21; p<0.05).
Moreover, Perceived Stress in age range 35-30 and 31-35 years was
higher than the later age range of 35-40 years (p<0.05), whereas
significant differences were found on all kind of coping at all ages.
Findings are discussed in terms of identification and resolution of stress, along with teaching and strengthening of coping skills of single working and non-working women.
