The science of menstrual cycle effects on behavior can be accelerated by addressing two long-standing issues. First, models predicting uniform cycle effects must be updated to reflect evidence for marked individual differences in behavioral hormone sensitivity. Secondly, longitudinal approaches must be embraced, as cross-sectional measures of cyclical change show poor prospective validity.
月经周期对行为影响的科学研究可以通过解决两个长期存在的问题来加速。首先,必须更新预测统一周期影响的模型,以反映行为激素敏感性个体差异显著的证据。其次,必须采用纵向方法,因为周期性变化的横断面测量显示出较差的前瞻性有效性。
