Abstract
Daily ratings of 20 measures of mood, behavior, and physical condition made by 64 women for one menstrual cycle were analysed to determine patterns of covariance between the pre- and postmenstrual periods. Five discriminantly different dimensions of premenstrual change were identified. They were found to be differently related to a lifetime diagnosis of effective disorder. These results, and others, support the recommendation that research should be focused upon diversified premenstrual changes rather than a single premenstrual syndrome.
