Sociological Study of Happiness among Married Female Students

Reviewing domestic and foreign views and research reports about happiness and being married، we would confront some contradictions implicate the complexity of the issue and ethnic biases among some of liberal feminists in addition of some positivist approaches in testing and imposing non-expatriate theories on social facts. Majority of these studies devoted to the field of psychology. This study is going to explorepersonal views of married women toward happiness phenomenon with a sociological approach in order to localizing the findings or detecting conceptual limits whichin the other words is the exploration ofadaptation range of different related elements with our social facts. This process requires proposing some suitable hypothesis. Our paradigm or model for studying the happiness phenomena is driven from Straus and Corbin method called “Grounded Theory”. In this regard we have compared the views of 22 female married students using theoretical sampling and theoretical saturation plus doing some deep and semi-standard interviews. The findings show that the generalization of Jessi Bernard’s hypothesis which states that being married would lead more to unhappiness among womenin compare of being singlehas been challenged seriously in our given sample. Also in the process of proposing the hypothesis in the samples، duality of husband’s attitude and practice - as the independent variable-would have a negative and strong effect on women’s happiness and would also have a direct effect on their pretended happiness. Also there has been a positive correlation between mixed and traditional marriage and the feeling of happiness among women، while the correlation between women’s happiness and modern marriage has been shownas negative.
