| dc.description | Using the State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970), a comparison of the scores of 199 midlife, military spouses was made with the scores of a sample of 74 midlife non‐military women. A total of 273 midlife women (aged 35–65) participated in the study. The women who participated in the study were from similar middle class socioeconomic backgrounds, and most were college prepared. The participants lived in both urban and rural settings.The instrument measured anxiety levels in both groups of women. The resulting scores showed the military spouses to have similar, but in some instances, slightly lower anxiety levels than their civilian counterparts. Additionally, the student i‐test indicated that the differences between the mean scores of the military and the non‐military were not statistically significant. It can be inferred from these data that there is relatively little difference in levels of anxiety between military spouses and their civilian counterparts. This may indicate similar coping abilities among midlife women.Of equal importance in the study was the comparison of the mean scores of both groups of midlife women to the normative data which were validated for the STAI. The six groups of subjects who participated in the validation of the instrument ranged from students to prisoners. These scores resulted in the low and high norms, respectively. The contrast between the scores revealed that the midlife women scored lower than the low normative subjects.The implication is that midlife women in general exhibit lower levels of anxiety than had been previously recognized by society. |
