Abstract
The aim of the study was to explore adult child interaction in domestically working and non working girls.
The study investigated perceptions of the environmental factors, use of the problem approaches, and their
emotional expression. The sample consisted of 50 girls (non working = 25, domestically working = 25) with
age range of 9 to 12 years. Adult child Interaction test was used and chi square analysis was done to
compare the two groups. The results showed that domestically working girls perceived their environment as
hostile and used indirect problem approaches as compared to non working girls. The emotional expression
of the domestically working girls was found to be negative. The results of the study indicated that there is a
need of more serious efforts from the society to protect and safeguard the emotional well being of
domestically working girls.
