TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Mental health and American Indian women's multiple roles JO - American Indian and Alaska Native mental health research A1 - Napholz, L. SP - 57 EP - 75 VL - 6 IS - 2 N2 - The author's purpose in conducting this study was to identify the relationship of sex role orientation to indices of psychological well-being among 148 American Indian working women from the Midwest. Analyses revealed that the sex-typed group had significantly higher depression scores, higher role conflict scores, lower self-esteem scores and lower life satisfaction scores when compared with the cross-typed and androgynous groups. The undifferentiated group had significantly lower self-esteem scores when compared with the androgynous group. Further research is needed to understand how different sex role orientations support different roles that American Indian women occupy.
