“…The present finding, that women reported a higher level of physical and verbal aggression at menses than at the midluteal phase, is similar to the findings by Luschen and Pierce [1972] that aggression was lower at high estrogen phases, and D'Orban and Dalton [1980] who found that 44% of 50 women charged with crimes of violence committed their offences during the perimenstrum with a significant lack of offences during ovulatory and postovulatory phases.…”

“…In a study by Luschen and Pierce [1972] involving 48 female undergraduates, it was found that aggression was lower at ovulation than at menses. D'Orban and Dalton [1980] found that 44% of 50 women charged with crimes of violence committed their offences during the perimenstrum, with a significant lack of offences during ovulatory and post-ovulatory phases.…”

“…However, a sufficient number of studies have failed to find significant cycle effects for many of these same moods, making any general conclusion premature. For example, in some studies, mood fluctuations were not found for self-reported negative affect (19), anxiety (7,15), depression (7,9), gloominess (9), irritability (9), tension (9,18), and aggression (7,20). Using daily mood ratings by an interviewer, other investigators found evidence of increased depression, tension, and irritability premenstrually (17).…”

“…McCance et al (18) found some individuals reporting a feeling of elation at midcycle. Luschen and Pierce (20) indicated affiliation needs were highest at midcycle, but there were no changes for either nurturance or succorance. Thus, the evidence for a high point at midcycle is not compelling.…”

“…Penton-Voak and Perrett [37] and Johnston et al [38] found similar results. This shift for different mate preferences at ovulation coincides with an increase in females' selfreported arousal to sexual stimuli [39] , peaks in sexual receptivity [40] , and an increased amount of attraction to and fantasy about men who are not their primary partners. Females' extra-pair copulation frequency [31] and mate guarding by the primary [41] also increase, indicating the importance of sperm competition.…”
