- Abstract:
- I he study examined how women from the African-American, European-American and Hispanic/Latino American cultures have been prepared for the onset of menstruation; their prevailing attitudes towards their bodies; and subsequent level of acceptance of the menstrual cycle. Participants completed the Bern 's Sex Role Inventory, the MenstruaI Attitude Questionnaire, the Body-Esteem Seale for Adolescents and Adults, and a Demographic Questionnaire. Findings revealed that there was a significant relationship between femininity and acceptance of the menstrual cycle. A significant relationship was also found between body comfort as body attribution and acceptance of the menstrual cycle, as well as between level of education about the menstrual cycle and acceptance of the menstrual cycle. Findings suggest that if females can be educated prior to the onset of menarche about the menstrual cycle, the negative connotations directed toward the cyclemay be reduced.
