Jestine, Stefy and Sinha, Anjana (2025) Premenstrual syndrome, stress and self-esteem among Young Adults. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (1). pp. 111-117. ISSN 2581-9615

The research investigates the relationship between premenstrual syndrome stress and self-esteem among young adults. A sample of 200 young adults were selected for the study. Data was collected through standardized measures and analyzed using statistical techniques, including correlation. The results indicate that PMS, stress, and self-esteem show weak and non-significant relationships in this sample. Specifically, the correlation between PMS and stress is minimal, with a Spearman's rho of 0.040 and a p-value of 0.572, suggesting no meaningful association between PMS and stress. Similarly, the relationship between PMS and self-esteem is weak (Spearman's rho = 0.025) and statistically non-significant (p = 0.725), indicating that PMS does not substantially influence self-esteem. Additionally, there is a weak negative correlation between stress and self-esteem (Spearman's rho = -0.104) that also lacks statistical significance (p = 0.144), suggesting that higher stress does not significantly impact self-esteem in this sample. Overall, these findings imply that PMS, stress, and self-esteem do not exhibit strong or significant associations, suggesting that they function independently of one another in this context.
