Abstract

Emotional   abuse wears away at the victim’s self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-concept. Resilience is the ability to move ahead in life in spite of difficulties and to bounce back after crises.


The aim of the current investigation was to compare working and non working women on emotional abuse and resilience. For this purpose, the Emotional Abuse Questionnaire (Gottman & Gottman, 2009) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003) were administered to the sample. The sample for the current investigation included 40 subjects, 20 working women and 20 non working women. The age group of the sample was 25 to 35 years. The t-ratio was used for statistical analysis of the results. Emotional abuse was more amongst non working women and resilience was found to be more in working women.
