ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study was to examine the psychological predictors (anger and hostility) of life satisfaction among married women. It was hypothesized that anger and hostility would significantly predict life satisfaction among married women. To proceed it further, total one hundred and fifty (n = 150) married non-working women were recruited using snowball sampling. The variables of anger and hostility were measured using subscales (Anger and Hostility) of Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992). Life satisfaction was examined through Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985). Linear Regression analysis of the research data reveals that anger and hostility significantly predicted life satisfaction among married women. The present findings have implications for mental health professionals, governmental and non-governmental organization devoted to address women issues.
