Abstract
This study was designed to explore support for menstrual suppression. It was hypothesized that menstrual attitudes would mediate, and feminine norms moderate, the relationship between self-objectification and support for suppression. Participants were 228 women who completed a questionnaire. Results indicate that menstrual shame is a significant mediator. The interaction between feminine norms and self-objectification acted as a moderator: those high in care for children who self-objectified less showed less support for suppression. Open-ended responses reveal reservations about safety and belief in the right to choose. Findings provide new insights into factors that affect women’s decision to use reproductive technology.
