This present study was designed to follow a small group of women longitudinally over one menstrual cycle in order to examine the relationsip between menstrual cycle and the time course of change in basal body temperature, state anxiety, and level of depression.The subjects were nine unmarried, healthy junior college women. The ages of the women ranged from 19 to 20. Body temperature was measured twice daily. State anxiety as indicated by Spielberger's STAI-I type, and level of depression by the MD scale, were measured six times during the menstrual cycle ; menstrual, post-menstrual, ovulatory, post-ovulatory, premenstrual, and late premenstrual phases.Results indicate that basal body temperature and depression scores change cyclically in relation to the menstrual cycle, but changes of state anxiety scores do not. Rhythm characteristics of basal body temperature and depression scores by least squares, fit a single cosine function. But the curves intersected. That is, depression scores were high in post-menstrual phase represented by low body temperature, and low in premenstrual phase represented by high body temperature. Correlations were low in menstrual phase between depression and state anxiety scores, but high correlations were found in premenstrual phase. It was suggested that the rhythm of state anxiety differed from that of depression, and there was a close relationship between menstrual cycle and changes of depression scores.
