这项研究的目的是检验实验需求特征和社会期望对推测的月经周期相关情绪和症状的报告和经验的影响。18名有规律月经周期的健康女性参与了这项研究，她们被随机分配到一组，一组被告知月经周期症状学是研究的重点，另一组对月经周期症状没有兴趣。另有9名男性作为对照组。结果表明，被告知对月经周期症状学感兴趣的女性在经前和经期阶段报告的消极心理和躯体症状明显多于不了解这一情况的女性和男性。因此，刻板印象的月经周期症状学报告似乎受到社会期望和实验需求特征的影响。
&NA; The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of experimental demand characteristics and social expectancies on the report and experience of presumed menstrual cycle‐related moods and symptoms. Participating in the study were 18 healthy women with regular menstrual cycles who were randomly assigned to either a group told that menstrual cycle symptomatology was the focus of the study or a group to which no interest in menstrual cycle symptoms was communicated. Nine males were also included as a control group. Results indicated that women who were informed of the interest in menstrual cycle symptomatology reported significantly more negative psychologic and somatic symptoms at the premenstrual and menstrual phases than did the women and men not so informed. It appears, therefore, that the report of stereotypic menstrual cycle symptomatology is influenced by social expectancy and experimental demand characteristics.
