It was Founded that there is a significant correlation between state anxiety with depression (sig. = 0.04) and significant one between depression and trait anxiety (Sig = 0.00). It was also found that state anxiety differs depending on the condition of abuse, with women victims of abuse who have higher anxiety; trait anxiety across difference is a more pronounced feature in battered women. Regarding depression, battered women have more depression than non-battered women. Anxiety state and anxiety trait did not significantly characterize the types of couple relationship; anxiety can accompany women regardless of the type of family to which they belong. Likewise, for depression, no significant differences were found by marital cohabitation type.
