The purpose of this study was to explore feminine and menstrual socialization, expectations about experiencing symptoms, and the stressful nature of women's lives among women with three perimenstrual symptom patterns. Social learning and stress theory provided a theoretical framework for understanding why some menstruating women experience premenstrual syndrome or premenstrual magnification symptom patterns. Data about socialization, stressful life context, expectations about symptoms, depressed mood, and other health-related and demographic indicators were obtained from an interview. Subsequent daily recordings in a health diary for two or more menstrual cycles provided data with which to classify women's symptoms across the menstrual cycle as a low severity symptom (LS, n = 73), premenstrual syndrome (PMS, n = 36), or premenstrual magnification (PMM, n = 62) pattern. Stepwise discriminant function analysis demonstrated that stressful life context, menstrual socialization, and expectations about symptoms related to menstruation differentiated women with an LS from those with a PMS or PMM symptom pattern. In addition, depressed mood differentiated the three groups.
本研究的目的是探讨具有三种经前症状模式的女性的女性及月经社会化、对出现症状的预期，以及女性生活的压力性质。社会学习和压力理论为理解为何一些月经女性会经历经前综合征或经前放大症状模式提供了理论框架。有关社会化、压力性生活背景、对症状的预期、抑郁情绪以及其他与健康相关和人口统计学指标的数据通过访谈获得。随后在健康日记中对两个或更多月经周期进行每日记录，提供了用于将女性在月经周期中的症状分类为低严重程度症状（LS，n = 73）、经前综合征（PMS，n = 36）或经前放大（PMM，n = 62）模式的数据。逐步判别函数分析表明，压力性生活背景、月经社会化以及对月经相关症状的预期将具有LS症状模式的女性与具有PMS或PMM症状模式的女性区分开来。此外，抑郁情绪在三组之间也存在差异。
