Survey study, 2023

# Is there a link between how emotions are expressed in relationships and PMS symptoms?

Yes. Women with higher expressed emotion also experienced more PMS symptoms.

 Early or limited evidence

220 women aged 15-30, both married and unmarried

## What they did

Cross-sectional survey of 220 women aged 15-30 (both married and unmarried) using convenience sampling. Data was collected through descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the relationship between expressed emotion and PMS.

## What they found

A positive correlation was found between expressed emotion and PMS, meaning women with higher expressed emotion also reported more PMS symptoms.

## What it means for you

Emotional expression in relationships may be linked to PMS symptoms. The main limitations are that the study is small, uses convenience sampling, and does not prove that emotions cause PMS. The abstract also does not clearly define what expressed emotion means.
