— A modified version of the Premenstrual Assessment Form (PAF) was administered to 737 military wives as part of a study of stress and well being. A factor analysis of the responses suggests three main subtypes of premenstrual change — hostile depressive, atypical depressive, and anxious — as well as two minor subtypes — organic and hypomanic. Demographic and psychosocial correlates of factor scores are discussed.
