Problemas de Observação - negatividade dos pressupostos

The observation language used and the interest behind much PMS research are directed towards the description and depiction of negatively evalueted changes in women. Parlee(1974) has pointed out that the Moos Menstrual Distress, a common PMS research tool, is almost entirely focused on negative conditions. As might be expected, much less attention is given to the alleged midcycle pick in the female cycle (Altman 1941; Ivey 1968), wich is for many women a time of euphoria, creativity and heightened productivity. Positive aspects of the premenstrum are commonly ignored. Instead attention is almost completely riveted on "what goes wrong with women" once a month.
