Using the 1990 national survey data on social change in Taiwan (N = 2,531), this study examines the effects of gender, marital status, employment, power and family structures on psychological distress. Research in Western societies after W W II showed that women are more distressed than men, and married persons are less distressed than unmarried ones. Theories and explanations from the sociological perspective on these differences are reviewed. Empirical studies suggest that marital power affects married women's and men's distress levels. In addition, research findings on effects of kinkeeping, family size, and internal density of a household suggest that family structures may be a factor that affects a person's psychological well-being. Based on the empirical findings from Western societies and the unique Chinese tradition, hypotheses are tested dealing with the effects of gender, marital status, employment, power and family structures on distress levels in Taiwan. Multiple regression analysis and analysis of variance are applied for data analysis. The findings show that gender is the most important predictor of psychological distress. Women in Taiwan are more distressed than men. However, the major difference between these is between men and women with dissolved marriages. This finding differs from that in Western societies where the striking difference is between married men and women. Although power is associated with distress in a curvilinear way as found in Western societies, Chinese wives rather than husbands are more significantly affected by the power they hold in decision-making. In Western societies, both husbands' and wives' distress levels are equally affected by their power in decision-making. Married persons in Taiwan are found to be less distressed than unmarried persons. In addition, married persons living in stem families are less distressed than those living in nuclear families. Single persons benefit most from living in a stem family compared to those living in nuclear or large extended families. Employment status fails to show a significant effect on distress.
