The Level of the Husbands’ support for their Wives Enrolled at Al- Quds Open University according to some Variables.

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of husbands’ support for their

wives enrolled at Al- Quds Open University according to some variables.

In addition, it tried to determine whether there was a statistically significant

relationship between the level of husbands’ support for their wives and these

variables: family income. Cumulative average and academic achievement

motivation. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire consisting

of three sections was designed: the first section related to variables of the

study; the second is related to the level of support that husbands offer to

their wives enrolled at Al- Quds Open University; and the third section

was devoted to measure the level of academic achievement motivation. The

questionnaire has been distributed to a simple random of (400) wives joining

the university as students. (378) copies of the questionnaire were restored.

The data were analyzed through the use of the program statistical package

of social sciences (SPSS) . The results showed that the level of support from

husbands to their wives enrolled at Al- Quds Open University was high, and

that there are significant differences in the level of support according to the

variables (specialization, and level of education of the husbands) . Results did

not prove the existence of statistically significant differences in the level of

support according to the variables (marital age, marital status, and number

of family members) , but they showed the existence of statistically significant

relationship between the level of support provided by husbands to their wives

enrolled at Al- Quds Open University and the level of household income, the

cumulative average and academic achievement motivation. In the light of the

results of the study, the researchers recommended that there is a need to have

multiple sources of support for married students.
