Thirty-three women participated in a study of the relationship between moods and enjoyment of activities during the menstrual cycle. All subjects had normal cycles and were screened for psychological health. None were taking oral contraceptives. Each subject filled out daily the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Social--Sexual Activities Log (SAAL). They also completed the Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) once a month. The SSAL was developed as part of this research in order to provide a means of assessing subjective enjoyment of daily activities. SSAL items were developed from semistructural individual interviews and assessed behavior across eight different categories. Results suggest that the SSAL is a reliable self-report instrument. Although there were no changes in either moods or enjoyment of activities as a function of cycle phase with either the POMS or the SSAL, scores on the MDQ showed the usual cycle-related differences. These findings raise questions concerning the validity of retrospective methods in general, and of the MDQ in particular, as techniques for assessment of personal distress during the menstrual cycle. Equally important, the results suggest that when changes in psychological states are assessed concurrently during the menstrual cycle, the fluctuations observed in a healthy population are minimal.
33名女性参与了一项关于月经周期中情绪与活动愉悦感之间关系的研究。所有受试者月经周期正常，且均接受了心理健康筛查。无人服用口服避孕药。每位受试者每天填写情绪状态量表（POMS）和社交-性活动日志（SAAL）。她们还每月完成一次莫斯月经困扰问卷（MDQ）。SAAL是作为本研究的一部分开发的，旨在提供一种评估日常活动主观愉悦感的方法。SAAL的项目是根据半结构化的个人访谈制定的，并对八个不同类别的行为进行评估。结果表明，SAAL是一种可靠的自我报告工具。尽管无论是使用POMS还是SAAL，情绪或活动愉悦感都不会随着月经周期阶段的变化而变化，但MDQ的得分显示出通常与周期相关的差异。这些发现引发了关于一般回顾性方法尤其是MDQ作为评估月经周期中个人困扰的技术的有效性的问题。同样重要的是，结果表明，当在月经周期中同时评估心理状态的变化时，在健康人群中观察到的波动是最小的。
