摘要
中年危机的发生率及其对中年妇女福祉的负面影响呈上升趋势,而她们应对危机的能力却各不相同。本研究考察了在尼日利亚奥约州选定的地方政府区域影响妇女适应中年危机的社会人口因素。此外,它阐明了支持系统在处理与中年危机相关的社会心理问题。本研究以埃里克森的社会心理理论和莱文森的阶段危机观为基础。本研究采用描述性研究设计,采用多阶段、有目的的抽样方法选择地方政府和研究对象。数据是通过对165名妇女进行结构化问卷调查收集的。采用描述性统计和单因素方差分析对假设进行检验。研究结果显示,45 - 54岁女性中出现中年危机的比例为55.76%。收入状况对中年危机期间的女性有重大影响,因为收入较高(超过20万美元)的参与者适应得更好。接受直系亲属支持的被试明显优于接受其他支持系统支持的被试(F (3,161) = 12.417, p < 0.01)。本研究发现,中年危机发生的年龄、较高的固定收入和来自直系亲属足够的支持系统是女性在中年危机中适应的重要因素。本研究建议建立对中年危机现实的认识,实施政策和方案,并为妇女提供适当的支持系统。
Socio-demographic Determinants of Women’s Adjustment to Midlife Crisis in Selected Local Government Areas in Oyo State, Nigeria
The incidence of midlife crises and the negative consequences on the well-being of middle-aged women is on the increase while their ability to cope differs. This study examines the socio-demographic factors that influence women’s adjustment to the midlife crisis in selected local government areas of Oyo state, Nigeria. Also, it elucidates the support systems in dealing with psychosocial issues associated with a midlife crisis. The study was anchored on Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory and Levinson’s Stage-crisis view. The descriptive research design was adopted, and multistage and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the local governments and the participants for the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to 165 women. Hypotheses were tested using descriptive statistics and One-way ANOVA. The findings reveal that the onset of midlife crisis among women was significant among women aged 45 to 54 at 55.76%. Income status has a significant impact on women during the midlife crisis as participants with higher income (above #200,000) adjusted better. Participants who received support from the immediate family significantly adjusted better than those who received support from other support systems F (3,161) = 12.417, p < .01]. This study established that the age of onset of a midlife crisis, higher regular income, and adequate system of support from the immediate family were significant factors for women’s adjustment during a midlife crisis. This study recommends the creation of awareness of the reality of the midlife crisis and the implementation of policies and programs as well as the provision of adequate support systems for women.
