Abstract
⺠Estrogens and progestagens do not contribute significantly to composite moods of healthy women. ⺠Changes in daily mood do not map on to menstrual cycle phases as determined by hormone levels. ⺠Stress and physical health contribute significantly to composite positive and negative moods of healthy women. ⺠Psychosocial factors may need to be controlled for in any study of mood.
