Feminism & Psychology
Considers what happens when feminism as a social movement and psychology as an academic discipline and profession meet. The discussion is limited to feminists' psychological research and to psychology as a written discourse. In the UK and the US, when feminists encounter psychology as an academic and professional discipline, new organizational structures are formed. Some of the differences in intellectual climate affecting the merging of feminism and psychology in these countries are illustrated by the fact that even social psychology has different meanings in the 2 countries. The independence, procedures, and goals of feminism may enable the new journal Feminism & Psychology to become a forum for developing a new kind of feminist psychological knowledge.

This topic was included in the Conference because, as the list of participants reflects, the phenomenon of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and scientific knowledge about it bear on a wide range of clinical, social, and legal issues. Media coverage is one means by which the science-based knowledge about PMS is conveyed to the general public and to those non-scientific professionals for whom it is relevant. Research on the mass communication and the media has traditionally been conducted by sociologists, none of whom as yet has focused on contemporary media treatments of PMS or of women’s reproductive functions more generally (e.g., Curran, Gurevitch, & Wollacott, 1979; Dexter & White, 1964). Because of the importance of the topic for PMS researchers, however, this paper attempts to bridge the gap between relatively technical scholarly treatments of the media by sociologists (see, for example, works cited in Gans, 1979) and the practical concerns of the working scientists dealing with the media. It draws, in part, on the author’s experience as a full-time writer and editor for a monthly magazine covering social science, as chair of the Public Information Committee of the American Psychological Association during the time the Association was developing and testing strategies for promoting responsible media coverage of psychological research, and as a researcher who has often interacted with media representatives covering PMS and/or menstrual cycle research. As Dr. Halbreich suggested in discussion at the Conference, media coverage of PMS may represent a useful model for analysis of the complex issues arising in media treatment of medical subjects more generally (Dick, 1954). Systematic research of this sort is needed to bridge solidly the gap to which this paper is addressed in a necessarily preliminary way.

Women in Management Review
Women aspiring to fast-track corporate careers are surrounded by advice on how to succeed. Like the men who were their peers before they were shot out of the business-school cannons, such women will need special training, technical skills, general intelligence, and social graces even to begin the race. But, experts tell them, women need additional skills and strategies if they want to advance in what is still the largely male world of upper management.

Scientific and clinical knowledge about the psychology of female reproduction has expanded rapidly over the past 15 years. Not only is there more research on the psychology of menstruation, pregnancy, birth, and menopause, it is better: more grounded in empirical data and more reflective of the complexity of the phenomena.1

Reviews research showing menstrual changes in basic processes in 5 sensory modalities. Although substantial variations of stimulus conditions and procedures make generalizations difficult, both visual and olfactory thresholds in women appear to be lower around the time of ovulation. Sensitivity to painful stimuli has generally been found to be lower in the premenstrual phase of the cycle. Auditory performance, less extensively investigated, has shown 2 peaks throughout the cycle, one around ovulation and one at menstrual onset. No generalizations emerge from scattered research on menstrual changes in taste, temperature sensitivity, or 2-touch thresholds. Four methodological points are discussed as important in future research directed toward identifying mechanisms underlying sensory changes associated with menstrual cycle. (63 ref)

Es geht um die Entwicklung und Bedeutung der Psychologie der Frau und das angespannte Verhältnis zwischen diesem Gebiet der Psychologie und der Psychologie als Ganzes. Ausgehend von einem literarischen Überblick über feministische Psychologie werden vier Kategorien von Forschungsarbeiten, die auf die Bedeutung von Fragestellungen für Frauen ausgerichtet sind, unterschieden: die Kritik an der traditionellen psychologischen Forschungsarbeit über Frauen, die empirische Forschung aus feministischer Sicht mit allerdings traditionellen Theorien und Methoden, die theoretische Entwicklung feministischer Konzepte und theoretische Beiträge zur problemorientierten Forschung. Sie tragen nicht zur Weiterentwicklung psychologischer Ansätze bei. Es werden die kontextisolierten psychologischen Methoden kritisiert und allgemein und zur Integration feministischer Forschungsarbeit in die Psychologie die Berücksichtigung der sozialen Bedingungen in der psychologischen Forschung gefordert.

... Within the small body of research on men's accounts of PMS, the predominant finding is that men depict premenstrual change as a negative, debilitating, and distressing experience (Brooks-Gunn & Ruble, 1986;Laws, 1992;Parlee, 1987). This finding is supported by men's reports that focus on the negative aspects of women's premenstrual experiences, such as mood swings, impulsivity, lack of self-control, fatigue, anxiety, and anger (Brooks-Gunn & Ruble, 1986;Christensen & Oei, 1990). ...

... Androcentric culture places women in a situation of subordination embedded in an institutional distribution of power. Likewise, health conditions and bodily modifications of women during their life course-from adolescence to menopausemight lead to an objectification of the female body and reason for abjection (Fredrickson and Tommi-Ann, 1977;Kristeva, 1982;Brooks-Gunn and Petersen, 1983;Parlee, 1984). Mutability of female bodies, even those due to life-course transformations, is an excuse to mark a distortion of "normal" identity, a risky period such as female adolescence (linked to flourishing early motherhood signs) and menopause (symbolizing the end of motherhood). ...

... Another explanation for inconsistent findings is changes in participants' visual processing (Garza and Byrd-Craven, 2019) and their visual discrimination abilities over the cycle. These changes have been demonstrated in increased visual sensitivity (Lewis, 2020;Parlee, 1983) and an increased ability to identify facial symmetry during fertile cycle phases (Lewis, 2017). Facial symmetry is generally interpreted as a sign of advantageous genetic traits and health (Fink and Penton-Voak, 2002;Foo et al., 2017), associated with a strong preference for symmetrical faces, independent of conscious detection (Little and Jones, 2006) thus substantiating the idea of evolutionary mating strategies exerting a strong influence on face perception and preference. ...

... Some feminists, for example have argued both in favour of, and against, the recognition of the Syndrome as a distinct clinical entity. Their argument against it is based on the assumption that its acknowledgement as a disorder may not help the afflicted women, but instead, may, serve to undermine the quest for equality for women (Caplan, McCurdy-Myers & Gans, 1992;Parlee, 1992;Reid, 1991). ...

... A slightly later generation would call this the code of menstrual invalidism -and continue to combat it (Seward, 1944). Indeed, beliefs in the incapacitating mental and physical effects of menstruation have continued to exert a persistent and tenacious hold on both scientific and popular imagination, despite many feminist researchers' careful attempts to dismantle and critique them (e.g., Caplan, McCurdy-Myers, & Gans, 1992;Chrisler & Caplan, 2002;Parlee, 1973Parlee, , 1982. ...

... The method thus had political force and, in this way, has links with consciousness raising. Memory-work offers a way of escaping from some of the problems inherent in traditional psychological methods identified by many feminist writer in the United States and the United Kingdom (for example, Crawford and Maracek 1989;Gavey 1989;Holloway 1989;Kimmel 1989;Maracek 1989;Mednick 1989;Fine and Gordon 1991;Kitzinger 1991;Parlee 1991;Wilkinson 1991), although doing feminist research using methods which lie outside the mainstream raises its own problems, as Parlee (1991) for example notes. ...

... In general, a woman's perception of her own period (and how normal this was) was more likely to be related to her own past experiences than local norms (in terms of what other women in the locality were reporting). Parlee (1976) believed that culturally accepted norms (such as the notion that the 28 day cycle is typically normal) affect reporting of and investigation of periods. ...

... A través del significado que damos a nuestras vidas, definimos quiénes somos; es lo queBruner (1990) ha llamado narrative identity.En referencia a la utilización de la narrativa para realizar un estudio cualitativo utilizando las experiencias cotidianas de las mujeres, nos encontramos con que las epistemologías tradicionales han excluido "the posibility that women could be "knowers" or agents of knowledge"(Harding, 1987, p. 3). Pero desde el paradigma postestructuralista, que enmarca el desarrollo de este estudio, el significado social de la experiencia de la mujer, posee un valor intrínseco dentro del campo del conocimiento.Estoy de acuerdo conParlee (1990) cuando señala que en la investigación acerca de las mujeres en la segunda etapa de la vida, las "multidisciplinary enterprises tend to be limited by a virtual absence of the interpretive social sciences" (p. 386). ...

... MC phase affects many aspects of physiological function, including the regulation of the immune system ( Pehlivanoglu et al., 2001), appetite (Dye and Blundell, 1997), responses to exercise (Pivarnik et al., 1992;de Jonge, 2003) and pain (Houghton et al., 2002;Powell-Boone et al., 2005). These phases also regulate cognitive, behavioral and emotional functions such as memory (Hampson, 1990;Postma et al., 1999), decision making (Meadowcroft and Zillmann, 1987;Chavanne and Gallup, 1998), sexual preferences ( Backstrom et al., 1983;Bancroft et al., 1983;Sanders et al., 1983;Harvey, 1987), sexual frequency ( Udry and Morris, 1968) and mood ( Moos et al., 1969;Parlee, 1973;Romans et al., 2012;Wu et al., 2014). ...
