摘要
Several studies have reported shifts in perceptual asymmetry during the menstrual cycle, but the potential confounding effect of mood changes has been largely ignored. In this study, 24 female subjects completed four visual laterality tasks and a mood questionnaire at three phases of the cycle. Results indicate no overall effect of cycle phase on any of the asymmetry or mood scores. However, results revealed significant associations between affect and perceptual asymmetry on a face perception task. Implications for mood effects on perceptual asymmetry and future research on cycle-related shifts in asymmetry are discussed. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
