A Comparative Study To Assess The Emotional Problem Among The Children ( 8-13 Years ) Of Working And Non-Working Mothers In Selected Urban Area”..

Abstract

This comparative study aims to assess emotional problems among children aged 8–13 years of working and non-working mothers in a selected urban area. Using a quantitative, non-experimental design with a descriptive survey approach, the study evaluates emotional issues and their association with demographic variables. Findings reveal that children of working mothers commonly experience irritability, aggression, attention problems, guilt, and depression, while those of non-working mothers show aggression, guilt, anxiety, and irritability. Significant differences and associations were observed based on maternal employment and demographic factors. The study underscores the impact of maternal roles and socio-demographic contexts on children's emotional well-being.
