Morningness-eveningness preference (morning-, intermediate-, evening-type) or circadian typology is the individual difference that most clearly explains variations in rhythmic expression of biological behavioral patterns. The aim this study was to analyze gender morningness-eveningness using Horne and Ostberg questionnaire largest university student population selected so far (N = 2135), with an age range 18-30 yr. (MEQ) score distribution closely correlated normal curve (range 17-78, mean...
The accurate measurement of circadian typology (CT) is critical because the construct has implications for a number health disorders. In this review, we focus on evidence to support reliability and validity more commonly used CT scales: Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), reduced (rMEQ), Composite Scale Morningness (CSM), Preferences (PS). addition, also consider Munich ChronoType (MCTQ). terms reliability, MEQ, CSM, PS consistently report high levels (>0.80), whereas rMEQ...
Patients with post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) conditions typically experience cognitive problems. Some studies have linked COVID-19 severity long-term damage, while others did not observe such associations. This discrepancy can be attributed to methodological and sample variations. We aimed clarify the relationship between outcomes determine whether initial symptomatology predict Cognitive evaluations were performed on 109 healthy controls 319 post-COVID individuals categorized into...
This paper analyses the influence of and possible interaction between chronotype (Morning-types, Neither-types Evening-types) personality dimensions (neuroticism, extroversion psychoticism) in daily consumption alcohol psychostimulants (nicotine caffeine). In a sample 537 subjects (257 men 280 women), who were students professionals with different but fixed work schedules, there significant differences among chronotypes regarding all above. Evening-types consumed more alcohol, nicotine...
Few studies have focused on the influence of circadian typology drug use, and none has considered use illegal drugs hazardous alcohol consumption. This study analyzes several types consumption (habitual or sporadic), hangover symptoms (past 12 mos), and, more specifically, young adults. Five hundred seventeen university students (173 males), between 17 30 yrs age, answered Composite Scale Morningness (CSM), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), a self-referred questionnaire...
The present study explores the relationships between functional and dysfunctional impulsivity factors, circadian typology, sex. A sample of 850 university students (396 men) aged 18 33 yrs age completed Dickman's Impulsivity Inventory (DII) reduced morningness–eveningness questionnaire (rMEQ). Factorial analysis showed a dimensional clustering with satisfactory item saturation for both dimensions impulsivity, especially in men evening-type. Men presented higher values than women while...
One of the most prevalent symptoms post-COVID condition is cognitive impairment, which results in a significant degree disability and low quality life. In studies with large sample sizes, attention, memory, executive function were reported as long-term symptoms. This study aims to describe dysfunction individuals, compare objective neuropsychological performance those individuals without complaints, identify short exams that can differentiate from controls. To address these aims, Nautilus...
Morningness scales have been translated into several languages, but a lack of normative data and methodological differences make cross-cultural comparisons difficult. This study examines the psychometric properties factor structure Composite Scale (CSM) in samples from five countries: France (n = 627), Italy 702), Spain 391), Thailand 503), Australia 654). Strong national are identified. A quadratic relationship between age CSM total score was apparent Australian with downward trend after 35...
Summary The aim of this work was to present the Sleep Beliefs Scale (SBS), a 20‐item reviewed version Hygiene Awareness by Lacks and Rotert [ Behav. Res. Ther. , 1986 28 : 104–112]. We also examined for first time influence circadian typology in sleep beliefs. Voluntary unpaid psychology students participated study ( n = 510; 182 men 328 women), from Italy Spain, aged between 18 33 (22.80 ± 4.14 years). mean score SBS 13.05 (SD 3.46; range 2–20) total sample, with distribution positive...
The purpose of the present study is to explore relationships between circadian typology and Cloninger's model seven dimensions personality, taking into account possible sex interactions. This considers four temperament (viz., HA, harm avoidance; NS, novelty seeking; RD, reward dependence; PS, persistence) three character SD, self-directedness; C, cooperativeness; ST, self-transcendence). A sample 862 university students (500 women), 18 30 (21.94 +/- 2.64) yrs age completed short versions...
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between circadian preference and sensation seeking. To 1041 university students (408 males 633 females), ranging in age 18 30 years, filled reduced version Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQr) Sensation Seeking Scale-Form V (SSS-V). Males scored higher than females SSS-V total score all subscales, except experience seeking (ES). As regards preference, evening types morning boredom susceptibility (BS) where they...
Alcohol-induced hangover, defined by a series of symptoms, is the most commonly reported consequence excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol hangovers contribute to workplace absenteeism, impaired job performance, reduced productivity, poor academic achievement, and may compromise potentially dangerous daily activities such as driving car or operating heavy machinery. These socioeconomic consequences health risks hangover are much higher when compared various common diseases other risk...
Abstract Objective To study the effects of consuming caffeine and glucose, alone combined, on cognitive performance. Methods Seventy‐two healthy subjects (36 women; age range 18–25) were tested early in morning, having fasted overnight. Using a double‐blind, randomised design, received one following beverages: water (150 ml); plus 75 mg caffeine; g glucose; glucose. Attention, manual dexterity, visuo‐spatial frontal functions, memory (immediate, consolidation working) subjective state all...
