MMPI correlates of menstrual distress

GH Gruba and M Rohrbaugh

The MMPI and Moos' Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) were administered to 60 undergraduate women. Partial correlations between MMPI clinical scales and menstrual and premenstrual MDQ symptom scales were computed with intermenstrual (baseline) symptom reports and response set (Gough's F-K index) statistically controlled MMPI variables tended to correlate with some symptom scales (premenstrual pain, negative affect; menstrual behavior change) but not with others (water retention, arousal). Where correlations did occur, common MMPI scales (Sc, Hs, Hy, Pt) were involved. Results suggest that psychological factors are more closely associated with some areas of menstrual symptomatoloty than with others.
