Abstract
In carrying out the dual role as a housewife and work is not an easy thing. Various demands that must be carried out by working wives
can cause fatigue, feelings of being burdened, and can even cause conflict in the household due to conflicting roles, thus making working
wives unhappy. One of the things related to happiness is self disclosure . This study aims to determine the relationship between self
disclosure and happiness in working wives. This research is quantitative with a purposive sampling technique involving 100
respondents. The self-disclosure measuring instrument used was compiled based on Wheeleess's self-disclosure theory totaling 34 valid
items with a reliability value of 0.909, as well as a happiness measuring instrument compiled based on Seligman's happiness theory which
amounted to 36 valid items with a reliability value of 0.914. Correlational test results obtained sig. (P) of 0.00 (p <0.05) and r value of
0.386, which means there is a significant relationship between self disclosure and happiness. Self disclosure contributed 14.9% to
happiness in working wives and the remaining 85.1% by other factors. More happy working wives (52%) compared to unhappy
wives. Age and level of education are known to have no relationship with happiness in working wives.
