Both groups answered to the questionnaires. The results showed that there were significant differences between personality traits (Extroversion, Neuroticism, Flexibility, Pleasure, Conscientiousness) and coping styles (Excitement oriented and Problem oriented) in divorced women under the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee coverage and the normal women.
