| Abstract: | The present work on pre-menstrual tension (PMT) was conducted on 32 females—16 married and 16 unmarried. These subjects were administered the Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MMDQ) and Eyesenck's PEN Questionnaire once immediately before, and a second time after finishing, the period of menstruation. The results showed that there were significant differences on Psychoticism (P) and Neuroticism (N) in low and high PMT females; the former scoring low on both dimensions. There was a significant decline in the scores of both N and P in the post-menstrual phase of the high PMT group. In both the groups there were significant changes on Extraversion (E/I) but the direction was opposite. The high PMT group showed an increase in E/I and the low PMT group showed a decrease in E/I in the post-menstrual phase. |
