Abstract
Background and Objective: Studies on advanced positive human resources indicate that anger and hostility affect mental health and can be so harmful and destructive to mental health that its impact goes as far as mental disorders. Islam has referred to the term "anger management" inviting people to swallow and manage their anger; therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of examining the moderating role of employment on the relationship between anger and mental health in employed women and housewives.
Methods: The present study is descriptive correlational. The sample population included working women and housewives of Tehran and Karaj in the 2015-2016 academic year; 384 families were selected by convenience sampling method based on Krejcie and Morgan’s table. The research instruments included a researcher-made questionnaire and the Goldenberg Mental Health Questionnaire. Pearson correlation test and hierarchical regression analysis were used. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
Results: The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between anger and mental health (P<0.01). Also, occupation has a moderating effect on the relationship between anger and mental health.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate the importance of the variables of employment and anger on the mental health of working women and housewives.
