Based upon a model of individual differences in menstrual experiences the study concerns the question of similarities and difference in menstrual experience and attitudes between mothers and their daughters. 60 mothers (mean age 46.5 years) and 60 daughters (mean age 19.9 years) were investigated using a comprehensive questionnaire which included standardized measures such as the German version of the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire. Comparisons of both groups revealed significant differences in relation to sex education, preparation for menstruation, and the experience of menarche, which were described more positive by the generation of the daughters. Differences in menstrual cycle effects on wellbeing and behavior were less clear. Behavioral changes and restrictions both demonstrated the significance of the mothers influence on their daughters. Inspite of more positive conditions for a "menstruation related socialization" mothers and daughters showed only slight differences in their menstrual attitudes. This result could confirm the importance and persistence of cultural norms.
基于月经经历个体差异模型，该研究关注母亲及其女儿在月经经历和态度方面的异同问题。使用一份综合问卷对60位母亲（平均年龄46.5岁）和60位女儿（平均年龄19.9岁）进行了调查，该问卷包括诸如德文版《月经态度问卷》等标准化测量工具。两组比较显示，在性教育、月经准备和初潮经历方面存在显著差异，女儿这一代对这些方面的描述更为积极。月经周期对幸福感和行为的影响差异不太明显。行为变化和限制都表明了母亲对女儿的影响具有重要意义。尽管有更积极的“与月经相关的社会化”条件，但母亲和女儿在月经态度上仅表现出细微差异。这一结果可以证实文化规范的重要性和持久性。
