Abstract
This research focuses on whether or not and under what conditions menopause is likely to be a psychologically stressful event for women. This question is examined empirically using data from the nationally representative Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES). Results from analyses of variance and covariance support the main hypothesis of this study. They indicate that when menopause occurs on time, that is, during midlife, it is not associated with psychological distress. When menopause occurs at earlier or later stages of the life course, however, it is apt to be a source of psychological distress. These results support other studies demonstrating that the timing of life events is an important element in their psychological impact.
