This study investigated the hypothesis that alcohol consumption patterns among normally menstrually cycling women would be influenced by increased negative mood states and phase of the menstrual cycle. A time-series, within-groups design was used to allow for comparisons among normally cycling women, women maintained on oral contraceptives, and men. Thirty-two adults recorded daily estimates of ongoing behaviors in the areas mentioned for two menstrual cycles or equivalent periods. Radioimmunoassay and temperature data were used to confirm ovulation and to define ovulatory, premenstrual, and menstrual phases. Estimates of anxiety, depression, and hostility were highly intercorrelated, but negative moods were not significantly related to frequency/amount of alcohol consumption. However, normally cycling women reported significantly more negative moods, were frequent drinking to relieve tension/depression, and more frequent solitary drinking at menstruation. These relationships were not observed among oral contraceptive women or men. Collected among psychologically robust, working subjects of high intelligence, these data provide estimates of baseline functioning for future studies exploring the progression of pathological alcohol use patterns among women.
本研究调查了这样一种假设，即正常月经周期女性的饮酒模式会受到负面情绪状态增加和月经周期阶段的影响。采用了时间序列组内设计，以便对正常月经周期女性、服用口服避孕药的女性和男性进行比较。32名成年人记录了两个月经周期或同等时间段内上述领域持续行为的每日估计值。放射免疫分析和体温数据用于确认排卵，并确定排卵期、经前期和月经期。焦虑、抑郁和敌意的估计值高度相关，但负面情绪与饮酒频率/饮酒量没有显著关系。然而，正常月经周期的女性报告的负面情绪明显更多，她们经常通过饮酒来缓解紧张/抑郁情绪，并且在月经期间更频繁地独自饮酒。在服用口服避孕药的女性或男性中未观察到这些关系。这些数据收集自心理强健、智力较高的在职受试者，为未来探索女性病理性饮酒模式进展的研究提供了基线功能估计。
