“…For example, correlations between the MEQ and extraversion tend to be negative, i.e. greater scores on extraversion scales correspond to greater tendency to eveningness (Adan and Almirall 1990;Kerkhof 1985;Mecacci et al 1986;Neubauer 1992;Wilson 1990). Examining subscales of extraversion found a negative relationship between morningness and impulsivity (Neubauer 1992), and Caci et al (2004Caci et al ( , 2005b found impulsivity but not venturesomeness related to morningness.…”

“…The age range of the subjects was 17-34 years (99.4% aged 17-30 years and 0.6% aged 31-34 years), with the mean B SD age being 22.5 B 3.0 years for the Italian sample and 20.6B 2.5 years for the Spanish sample. They answered the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) [16] in Italian [17] and in Spanish [18] versions, respectively. The scores of MEQ may range from 16 to 86.…”

Morningness-eveningness preference by the self-rated Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) has earlier been shown to be associated with the subjects’ season of birth. Here, we obtain this result for a new sample of 2,125 university students and for the sample obtained by pooling the data with the earlier study, yielding totally 3,709 Italian and Spanish subjects. An nonlinear regression of MEQ as a cosine curve according to the month of birth, adjusting for age and gender, gave a maximum (morningness) around the transition between the birth months December and January, and a minimum (eveningness) around the transition between the birth months June and July. Multiple logistic regressions showed that for females as well as for males, the group born during the half-year April to September containing summer had a significantly lower proportion of morning types as compared with the group born during the half-year October to March containing winter. This was more pronounced for males. Moreover, a significantly higher proportion of morning types among females compared with males was found only in the group born during April to September, but not in the group born during October to March. There was a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between MEQ and age in the sample’s limited age range of 17–30 years. We discuss the results in terms of the mutually inhibitory systems of melatonin and dopamine, and find further support for a hypothesis that it is the variation in the length of photoperiod during the gestational or perinatal period that contributes significantly to the season of birth variation found in the morningness-eveningness preference among adults.

“…A relationship between morningness disposition and extraversion has been observed by some authors (Adan & Almirall, 1990;Wilson, 1990), and researchers have hypothesized that sport participants would score higher on extraversion (Eagleton, McKelvie, & de Man, 2007). Because extraversion components include energy and activity, thus identifying it with active and dynamic people (McCrae & Costa, 1987;Watson & Clark, 1997), our intention was, therefore, to study the relationship between the number of hours of sport participation per week and morningness-eveningness personality.…”

Morningness-eveningness personality and creative thinking were investigated in a sample of young people who play recreational sports. Results showed that male participants were more eveningness-oriented than females; evening types had lower scores in creative thinking, although these were not statistically significant; the elaboration factor of the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (Torrance, 1989) was positively correlated with taking part in sport activities in the whole sample; and the elaboration and fluidity factors were negatively correlated with intermediate and morningness dispositions. The relationship between the number of hours per week of sport activity, morningness-eveningness personality, and creative thinking was also explored.Personality psychology researchers have explored two personality typologies: morning types − who go to bed early, wake up early in the morning, are active SOCIAL
