This causal-comparative study aimed to compare the psychological well-being of veiled and non-veiled housewives in Hamedan. The statistical population comprised all housewives who had visited counseling centers in Hamedan. From a population of 300, a sample of 120 individuals was selected via simple random sampling based on the Krejcie and Morgan table. Participants were divided into two groups: 60 veiled women and 60 non-veiled women. Data were collected using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale and analyzed with SPSS-25 software. The results indicated that veiled women obtained significantly more favorable scores on the indicators of self-acceptance, environmental mastery, personal growth, and purpose in life, suggesting a greater degree of psychological serenity. In contrast, non-veiled women scored higher on the dimensions of autonomy and positive relations with others, indicating greater activity in independent decision-making, expanding social relationships, and defining personal goals. Overall, the findings demonstrate a statistically significant difference in the psychological well-being between veiled and non-veiled housewives.
