“…However, VRT was significantly higher in females which could be due to fluctuation of steroid hormone during menstrual cycle. It is known that ovarian steroid have widespread effects throughout the brain regions including cognitive function [28,29]. The delta PR was significantly higher in females as compared to males.…”

Background: Medical students experience stress at every phase of curriculum more so before examination. This stress may affect physiological, psychological and cognitive functions of the students. Aim:The present study aimed to evaluate stress status among first year MBBS students by recording pulse rate (PR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and using stress questionnaire; its effect on cognitive function by recording auditory reaction time (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT). Setting and Design:It is a cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods:A total of 100 (49 males and 51 females) first year healthy MBBS students participated. Stress questionnaire was given and assessed. Cardiovascular parameters were also assessed. The ART and VRT were recorded before (pre examination setting) and after 3 month of examination (post-examination setting).Statistical Analysis: The data were analysed by using SPSS 21.0 version.Results: All parameters namely PR, SBP, DBP, ART, VRT and stress scores were increased in preexamination setting irrespective of gender. Increased PR was observed in female learners where as stress score and SBP were increased in males in pre-examination setting. ART and VRT were more in females as compared to males in both setting.

“…The interaction between sex hormones and neurotransmitter systems may result in cyclic changes in activation levels throughout the menstrual cycle. Autonomic nervous system is activated when sex hormone levels are low, while CNS activated during higher hormone levels [11]. Menstrual cycle is associated with dopamine release in the nigro-striatal pathway due to fluctuating levels of ovarian steroids hormones which may affect the brain regions [12].…”

“…anksioznost, strah) i reakcijama na stres (Proroković i Manenica, 2002). Koristeći se raznim indikatorima aktivacijske razine organizma, istraživanja pokazuju povećanje razine aktivacije u fazama ciklusa koje karakteriziraju povišene razine estrogena (Asso i Braier, 1982;Proroković i Gregov, 1997;Šimić i Manenica, 1998). Studije koje su uključivale primjenu Thayerove AD-ACL skale za procjenu aktivacije u raznim fazama ciklusa također izvještavaju o povećanju razine opće ak-tivacije u središnjim fazama ciklusa, dok su procjene visoke aktivacije bile najviše u predmenstrualno i menstrualno vrijeme, koje karakteriziraju niske razine estrogena i progesterona (Proroković i Gregov, 1997).…”

“…U skladu s očekivanjima, našli su povećanje EDR-a u ovulatornoj fazi, u usporedbi s lutealnom i predmenstrualnom fazom ciklusa. Asso i Braier (1982) izvještavaju o povećanoj kortikalnoj aktivaciji intermenstrualno i smanjenoj predmenstrualno, dok je suprotan obrazac promjena dobiven za autonomnu simpatičku aktivaciju.…”

Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazala su veću ljubomoru žena na emocionalnu, u odnosu na seksualnu nevjeru partnera. Razlike u ljubomori na dvije vrste nevjere mogle bi ovisiti o fazi menstrualnog ciklusa. Polazeći od evolucijskih postavki, valja očekivati veći stupanj ljubomore na emocionalnu nevjeru partnera u preovulatornoj fazi, kada je začeće moguće, te veći stupanj ljubomore na seksualnu nevjeru u menstrualnoj fazi ciklusa. Polazeći od navedenoga, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati postoje li razlike u elektrodermalnim reakcijama (EDR) i procjenama ljubomore u situacijama zamišljanja scenarija emocionalne i seksualne nevjere partnera tijekom menstrualne i preovulatorne faze. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 26 sudionica regularnoga menstrualnog ciklusa. Thayerova skala za procjenu aktivacije AD-ACL uzeta je za određivanje opće i visoke aktivacije. EDR je registriran u kontrolnoj situaciji i u situacijama zamišljanja dviju nevjera te su sudionice procjenjivale stupanj ljubomore tijekom trinaestoga i drugoga dana ciklusa. Rezultati su pokazali više procjene opće aktivacije i veći EDR u preovulatornoj fazi. Nisu nađene razlike u EDR-u prilikom zamišljanja scenarija seksualne i emocionalne nevjere. Procjene emocionalne ljubomore bile su više u preovulatornoj fazi, a procjene seksualne ljubomore u menstrualnoj fazi.
