Thirty-five young women completed the Profile of Mood States and tests of automatization and perceptual restructuring ability before and after commencing one of three forms or oral contraception (OC) or one form of intrauterine contraception (the loop). For each subject on each experimental variable the difference between the first and second tests was computed. These data were then analysed by covariance and discriminant function analyses. Two sets of functions were derived. The first distinguished the loop users from the OC users. The latter exhibited significantly greater increases in anger and significantly greater reductions in vigor than the former. The second set of discriminant functions distinguished users of Neogynon from the women in the other three groups. Neogynon users' performances on the Color Words Test (a measure of automatization ability) worsened and their anger, vigor and tension scores had decreased to a greater extent than was the case for members of the other groups. It is suggested that the changes in affect demonstrated by the first discriminant function were related to personal and attitudinal variables associated with the Loop users. The second discriminant function was interpreted as an indication that the varying progestagen content of OC may have differential effects upon both affect and automatization ability.
35名年轻女性在开始使用三种口服避孕药（OC）中的一种或一种宫内避孕器（节育环）之前和之后，完成了情绪状态量表以及自动化和知觉重组能力测试。对于每个实验变量下的每个受试者，计算了第一次测试和第二次测试之间的差异。然后通过协方差分析和判别函数分析对这些数据进行分析。得出了两组函数。第一组函数区分了使用节育环的人和使用口服避孕药的人。与前者相比，后者的愤怒情绪显著增加，活力显著下降。第二组判别函数区分了使用炔诺酮的人和其他三组女性。炔诺酮使用者在颜色词测试（一种自动化能力测量）中的表现变差，并且他们的愤怒、活力和紧张得分下降的程度比其他组的成员更大。有人认为，第一个判别函数所显示的情绪变化与节育环使用者相关的个人和态度变量有关。第二个判别函数被解释为表明口服避孕药中不同的孕激素含量可能对情绪和自动化能力有不同的影响。
