Flashbulb Memories of Menarche and Adult Menstrual Distress.
Pillemer, David B.; And Others
Journal of Adolescence, v10 n2 p187-99 Jun 1987
Female college students (N=99) recounted memories of menarche, described menarcheal circumstances, and completed the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ). Found inadequate emotional preparation for menstruation to be associated with negative feelings at menarche. Menarcheal circumstances were not strongly predictive of adult MDQ scores. (Author)
