The majority of the credible sources associated with this study existed in the 1990s. For instance, the article by Baruch (1984), is a credible source in regard to the psychological well-being of women. Therefore there’s a need for more credible and updated studies in psychological well-being among women.

Additionally, in this body of research is a comprehensive understanding of the women's experience with psychological well-being. In the various research articles that I evaluated, I found out that there were inconsistent findings on the factors that impact women's mental health. Therefore, more research is required to understand the factors associated with women's psychological well-being. Generally, various socio-demographic and psychological factors tended to impact women's well-being. Studies that majored in women are not sufficient regarding psychological well-being studies. In addition, the majority of the study's findings were based on the MIDUS data collected in the 1990s. These findings are now not reliable since they tend to be outdated.
