Abstract
Today’s dual-earner couples experience high role strain due to multiple responsibilities at work and home. Dual-earner couples should be free from strain and they should enjoy carrying out their responsibilities both at job and home. It can only be achieved by reducing role strain through the adoption of coping strategies. Coping strategies may prevent, reduce, divert, avoid or control role strain. Thus keeping the above facts in mind the present study was conducted on dual-earner couples of Jaipur city to find out the relationship between role strain and coping strategies among dual earner couples. Total 200 couples (200 wives and 200 husbands) were selected for the study. Data were analysed using SPSS 16.0 statistical tools. Bivariate analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient result shows that a negative correlation was found between role strain and coping strategies among dual-earner couples. This clarifies that an increase in the use of coping strategies tends to reduce role strain among dual-earner couples. The correlation value was r = -0.228 between overall role strain and overall coping strategies among wives, which was significant at 0.01 level. This indicates that an effective use of coping strategies may reduce role strain among wives. The correlation value was r = -0.129 between overall role strain and overall coping strategies among husbands, which was not significantly correlated because husbands experienced low overall role strain as compare to their wives.
