The propose of present study is to find the cognitive way how the women suffering from premenstrual dysphoric symptoms(PMDS) perceive their physical symptoms as well as to confirm that PMDS has a cognitive factor. For this purpose, this study screened 202 unmarried females for PMDS and analyzed their cognitive style of somatic symptoms. The participants wrote out Somatosensory Amplification Scale(SSAS), Symptom Interpretation Questionnaire(SIQ). As well, they rated their symptoms related to PMDS prospectively during 39 days. The daily rating operated on the web. The results show that the women suffering from PMDS are different from non-PMDS women in the respect of cognition of physical symptoms; they attributed their symptoms to emotional causes more than non-PMDS women did(p<.001) and they perceived common somatosensory exaggeratedly(p<.05). The logistic regression analysis also revealed that PMDS could be effectively predicted from the emotional attribution style. The strengths of this study include application of the prospective assessment through a computer program. Also, the result of this study supports the cognitive theory of premenstrual syndrome. However, this result is limited to be generalized to the women who suffer from premenstrual dysphoric symptoms. Thus, future studies should examine whether the result of this study can be applied to women who suffer from premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
