UNASSIGNED: The study sample comprised 150 non-clinical subjects (aged 18-31; M = 21.82; SD = 2.19). Study variables were assessed with self-report questionnaires: the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST); the Traumatic Experiences Checklist (TEC); the Perceived Stress Scale-4 Short Form (PSS-4); the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ); and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2 - trait anger subscale). Correlation and mediation analyses were performed.
UNASSIGNED: The symptoms of premenstrual disorders were significantly and positively associated with both trait anger and pessimistic attributional style, as well as with trauma and stress. The correlations were moderate to strong, ranging from rho = 0.57 (pessimistic attributional style and trauma) to rho = 0.85 (stress and premenstrual symptoms). Both anger and pessimistic attributional style partially mediated the relationship between trauma and premenstrual symptoms and between stress and premenstrual symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: Although the design of the study does not allow to infer causality, it demonstrates strong, positive relationship between the symptoms of premenstrual disorders, trauma, stress, attributional style, and anger. The results of mediation analyses may point to some practical implications (e.g. for psychotherapeutic interventions) but further studies employing prospective methods are needed.
■研究样本包括150名非临床受试者(年龄18-31岁;M=21.82;SD=2.19)。使用自我报告问卷评估研究变量:经前症状筛查工具(PSST);创伤经历清单(TEC);感知压力量表-4简表(PSS-4);归因风格问卷(ASQ);和状态特质愤怒表达量表-2(STAXI-2-特质愤怒子量表)。进行了相关性和中介分析。
■经前紊乱的症状与特质愤怒和悲观归因方式显著正相关,以及创伤和压力。相关性是中等到强的,范围从rho=0.57(悲观归因风格和创伤)到rho=0.85(压力和经前症状)。愤怒和悲观归因方式都部分介导了创伤与经前症状之间以及压力与经前症状之间的关系。
■尽管研究的设计不允许推断因果关系,它显示出强大,经前紊乱的症状之间的正相关,创伤,压力,归因风格,和愤怒。调解分析的结果可能指向一些实际意义(例如,用于心理治疗干预),但需要采用前瞻性方法的进一步研究。
