The sample consisted of 90 working and 90 non-working women from rural and urban area in Dharwad district during 2010-11. Farm women were considered as rural working women and nonworking group as housewives. Teachers constituted working group whereas housewives a non-working group in urban area. Mental health was measured using the mental health inventory by Jagadish and Srivastava (1983) and self-efficacy was measured using self-efficacy scale by Sud et al (1998). Socio economic status was measured using socio economic status scale by Aggarawal et al (2005) in addition to personal information. The results revealed that the working and non-working women had average mental health in both rural and urban area. There was no significant difference between working and non-working women on mental health. But there was a significant difference between mental health of rural and urban women. Urban women had better mental health than that of rural women. Age, education, income and number of children had positively and significantly related to mental health of working women while family size was negatively but significantly related to mental health of working women. Most of the working and non-working women from rural and urban area exhibited high level of self-efficacy. Social participation was positively and significantly related to self-efficacy of working women. The study also indicated that as number of children increased mental health of rural women also improved. Family size was positively and significantly related to self-efficacy of urban women.
