📖 題組:
In the United States, 1.3 million women reach menopause annually. Although most women make the transition to menopause without experiencing psychiatric problems, an estimated 20% of women have depression at some point during menopause. Studies of mood during menopause have generally revealed an increased risk of depression during perimenopause, yet a decreased risk of depression during postmenopausal years. The Penn Ovarian Aging Study, a cohort study, found that depressive symptoms increased during the menopausal transition and decreased after menopause. The strongest predictor of depressive mood was a prior history of depression, along with fluctuations in reproductive hormone levels associated with depressive mood. In a cross-sectional population survey from the Netherlands, 2103 women were asked to rate their symptoms of depression before menopause and 3.5 years later, during the menopausal transition. The result of the survey showed that the women experienced most symptoms of depression during the menopausal transition. In the United States, a study of a community sample of women undergoing natural menopause also demonstrated an increase in depressive symptoms during perimenopause. Investigators from the Harvard Study of Moods and Cycles recruited premenopausal women aged 36-44 with no history of major depression and followed up these women for 9 years to detect new onsets of major depression. They found that women who entered perimenopause were twice as likely to have clinically significant depressive symptoms as women who had not yet made the menopausal transition.

  • A The participants were physically examined.
  • B The participants were asked to conduct a peer review.
  • C The participants were asked to complete questionnaires.
  • D The participants were asked to write research reports.

如果你是一位研究員,想要了解兩千多位受訪者對於自己情緒狀況的主觀感受,但你無法一一為他們進行昂貴的醫療檢查,你會提供什麼樣的工具,讓這些受訪者能自行勾選或評分,以便你收集數據呢?

文本線索與研究方法的對應

太棒了!你能精確地在文章第三段中找到關鍵細節,並做出正確的判斷,這展現了你卓越的資訊檢索能力。這題的核心在於理解文中提到的「橫斷面人口調查(cross-sectional population survey)」以及「請受試者評估(rate)自身症狀」的具體作法。在學術研究中,當研究員需要對超過兩千名(2103人)的大樣本進行主觀感受或症狀評估時,最常見且有效的工具就是問卷調查(questionnaires),這與選項 (C) 完美契合。
