“…Thus, scores could range from zero to 24. This scale is brief, but has been shown to accurately identify emotional changes in the elderly (Plutchik, McCarthy, & Hall, 1975) and in college students (Duclos et al, 1989;Plutchik, 1965).…”

Recent research suggests that deliberate manipulation of expressive behaviours might self-regulate emotional experiences. Eighty people were first induced to adopt emotional expressions in a successfully disguised procedure that identified whether their feelings were affected by their expressive behaviour when they were unaware of the nature and purpose of that behaviour. They then deliberately attempted to change emotional feelings by adopting or inhibiting emotional behaviours, or by focusing on or being distracted from situational cues for emotion. Participants more responsive to their own behaviour in the disguised procedure felt more intensely when they adopted emotional behaviours, and less intensely when they inhibited those behaviours. In contrast, people identified as unresponsive to their own emotional behaviour were most affected by deliberate focus on or distraction from emotional thoughts. The effectiveness of techniques for emotional self-regulation depends on a match with characteristics of the person.

“…These brief scales were adapted from Plutchik (1980) and have been used to accurately identify emotional changes in the elderly (Plutchik, McCarthy, & Hall, 1975) and in college students (Duclos et al, 1989;Plutchik, 1965), as well as in many other self-perception studies (Laird & Bresler, 1992). No identifying information was requested on the questionnaire, and students were seated with sufficient spacing so their responses were not readily observable by others.…”

Self-perception theory suggests that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) may arise from the misattribution of hormone-induced bodily changes. If so, individual differences in the role of bodily responses in emotional feelings, measured in a separate expression-manipulation procedure, should be related to susceptibility to PMS. In Study 1, women responsive to cues from their bodies showed significant mood changes, both negative and positive, with their cycle, over a 60 day span; whereas women relatively unresponsive to personal, bodily cues showed no consistent cycle effects. PMS was also predicted by a measure of emotional complexity. In Study 2 women whose moods were based on bodily cues also rated their moods as less positive if they were in their premenstrual week, and women unresponsive to their bodies were unaffected by their cycle. A reminder of their cycle-stage prevented PMS in the body cue group, which is a kind of discounting effect. Women who were unresponsive to their bodies also did not show PMS, and were unaffected by the reminder.

Participants also rated how satisfied they were with their life, from not satisfied at all to very satisfied.…”

Women who were unresponsive to their bodies also did not show PMS, and were unaffected by the reminder. 1 The name Premenstrual Syndrome implies a more severe problem than most women encounter, and the term premenstrual tension would seem more appropriate, if a bit too narrow, because tension is only one symptom. However, common usage is to refer to cycle-related emotional changes as PMS and we will follow that custom.
