ABSTRACT | ||
The present study is a comparative study that examines the effect of the premenstrual syndrome (PMS) on emotional control and social segregation among 100 adult women who lives in Delhi, India. Two categories according to age 18-25 years and 30-45 years were classified as the sample population. Based on the Premenstrual Syndrome Questionnaire (PMSQ), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and UCLA Loneliness Questionnaire, statistical analyses were conducted to determine the connection between PMS signs and symptoms and emotional repression and the lack of connection. The results showed that greater the PMS symptoms in women, the less will be the emotional regulation, and an increase in the severity of the PMS will be associated with an increase in the severity of social isolation. Additionally, women aged between 18 and 25 are expected to have fewer symptoms of premenstrual syndrome compared to those aged 30-45. The results of the present research will help to better understand the effects of PMS on the psychological state and guide interventions to change the condition and reduce the symptoms in the target population.
