Women's Comedy Preferences during the Menstrual Cycle.
Meadowcroft, Jeanne M.; Zillman, Dolf
Communication Research: An International Quarterly, v14 n2 p204-18 Apr 1987
Indicates that premenstrual and menstrual women preferred comedy over alternative choices more strongly than did women midway through the cycle. Suggests that this preference reflects a desire to overcome the hormonally mediated noxious mood states that are characteristically associated with the premenstrual and menstrual phases of the cycle.
