Eighty-five female homemakers in a Taiwanese city were surveyed. Multiple regression analysis indicated that age, life events, and social support were related to depression symptomatology. Younger homemakers reported more depressive symptoms than their older counterparts did. Life events were related to depression, and social support acted as a buffer against depression.
