Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of married female teachers' work and family on their mental health. Marrage and work is regarded as an important factor to predict married female's mental health. So we investigate married female teachers' job stressors and reinforcers. At the same time we investigate married female teachers' marrage stressors and reinforcers. Participants were 118 married female teachers. Significant relationship was found between reward from marrage and mental health. And perceived quality of job and marrage is significantly related with mental health, too. So we can conclude that we should consider the reinforcer variable in the future stress research. The discussion addressed implications of the findings for future research and clinical practice.
