question 64

Multiple Choice

Married women are more often than not working outside the home on at least a part-time basis, as do most mannered men. Does a husband's employment status affect his wife's well-being? In an attempt to answer this question, 20 married female professionals were surveyed as to their job satisfaction. In this sample, 15 husbands were employed, and 5 were unemployed. The Learning Objective of the study was to compare the mean job satisfaction levels of the married women with working husbands, with the mean job satisfaction levels of the married women with husbands that stayed at home. Set up the hypotheses to test whether the job satisfaction levels of married women with working husbands is any more than that of their counterparts with unemployed husbands.
