Abstract
To examine the relationship of attitudes about menstruation to self-reports of menstrual-related symptomatology and to other aspects of behavior, an instrument to measure attitudes concerning menstruation was developed. After constructing the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ), the factor analytic structure of the original MAQ sample was replicated on a 2nd sample. Summary statistics are presented for college women, college men and adolescent girls. The relationship between menstrual-related attitudes, expectations and experience is examined.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
