Abstract
ABSTRACTChronotypes describe morningness/eveningness preference Society is morning-oriented and late chronotypes suffer and function in hours that are different from their innate preference (social jetlag). Data suggest links between chronotypes and psychological wellbeing, but relationships are unclear. We explore this relationship using a combined measure representing different domains of psychological wellbeing. Participants (177 adults) were reached through social media and asked to answer questionnaires including demographic and health information; morningness/eveningness (MEQ); State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Y-1 (STAI-Y1); Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D); Risk Assessment Suicidality Scale (RASS); and Quality of Life Uniscale (QoL). Data were transformed using Z-Scores and summed to generate a “Psychological wellbeing” variable. Three variables survived the regression model as contributors to wellbeing: chronotype, general health and past mental health issues. Chronotypes therefore have a significant effect on psychological wellbeing and as a society we may want to take action to assist late chronotypes overcome their challenge.KEYWORDS: Circadian rhythmsquality of lifeemotionalitydepressionanxiety Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
