“…We highlight the positive association between rMEQ scores and emotional repair, a dimension considered as a good predictor of subjective wellbeing (Chico-Librán et al, 2011;Fernández-Berrocal et al, 2004;Landa et al, 2010;Salguero et al, 2012). In this case, higher morningness scores are linked to a higher ability for emotional repair and, consequently, for subjective well-being, as previous studies have shown by using different measurement instruments (Biss & Hasher, 2012, Jankowski, 2012Lázar et al, 2012;Randler, 2008). The sex differences shown are in agreement with previous data (Fernández-Berrocal & Extremera, 2008;Ruiz et al, 2012;Thayer et al, 2003).…”

Several aspects related to health, such as satisfaction with life, perceived well-being, and psychopathological symptomatology have been associated with circadian typology and with emotional intelligence. Nevertheless, the relationships between circadian typology and emotional intelligence have not been explored yet. The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationships between circadian typology and emotional intelligence, taking into account the possible interactions between sex and physical exercise, and controlling for age. A sample of 1011 participants (649 women), aged between 18 and 50 yrs (26.92 ± 6.53) completed the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ) and the Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24). The TMMS-24 considers three dimensions of emotional intelligence: emotional attention, emotional clarity, and emotional repair. Women showed higher values for emotional attention, whereas men showed higher values for emotional repair (p < 0.035, in both cases). Subjects who do physical exercise weekly showed higher values for emotional repair (p = 0.001) regardless of circadian typology or sex. Circadian typology presents differences in all scores of emotional intelligence dimensions. Morning-type had lower emotional attention than evening- and neither-type; neither-type had lower emotional repair than morning-type, and lower emotional clarity than both evening- and morning-type (p < 0.046, in all cases). Moreover, circadian typology modulated the sex differences in emotional attention, and only morning-type men showed a low emotional attention score. From the results of emotional intelligence we can conclude that morning typology may be a protective factor in terms of general health, whereas we should be aware that the neither-type may present a possible vulnerability to develop psychological problems.

“…Randler finds a significant positive correlation between "morningness" tendencies of people and satisfaction in life [7], and Monk [16] find that MT individuals appear to have more regular lifestyle than ETs. A positive correlation between eveningness and depression level is reported by Hasler et al [17].…”

“…Geographic closeness generally leads to similarity of climate and culture, which helps eliminate confounding factors that may lead to differences in lifestyle behaviors unrelated to city size. In contrast to traditional research investigating lifestyle patterns, where data collection methods include questionnaires and telephone interviewing [6], [7], [8], we leverage data from social media to make inferences about people's lifestyles. The wide adoption of social media brings researchers a new opportunity of studying natural, unconstrained human behavior at very large scales.…”

Abstract-Lifestyles are a valuable model for understanding individuals' physical and mental lives, comparing social groups, and making recommendations for improving people's lives. In this paper, we examine and compare lifestyle behaviors of people living in cities of different sizes, utilizing freely available social media data as a large-scale, lowcost alternative to traditional survey methods. We use the Greater New York City area as a representative for large cities, and the Greater Rochester area as a representative for smaller cities in the United States. We employed matrix factor analysis as an unsupervised method to extract salient mobility and work-rest patterns for a large population of users within each metropolitan area. We discovered interesting human behavior patterns at both a larger scale and a finer granularity than is present in previous literature, some of which allow us to quantitatively compare the behaviors of individuals of living in big cities to those living in small cities. We believe that our social media-based approach to lifestyle analysis represents a powerful tool for social computing in the big data age.

“…Late chronotypes are more likely to have psychiatric illnesses, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Rybak et al, 2007), depressive symptoms (Chelminski et al, 1999), bipolar disorder (Soreca et al, 2009), sleeping difficulties (Giannotti et al, 2002;Ong et al, 2007), and according to one study, also lower sleep efficiency as assessed by actigraphy (Lehnkering et al, 2007). In contrast, early chronotypes exhibit a healthier life style (Wittmann et al, 2006), such as healthier dietary habits (Fleig et al, 2009), and report a higher life satisfaction (Randler, 2008).…”

Morningness Propensity in Young Adults Born Prematurely: The Helsinki Study of Very Low Birth Weight Adults

The authors explored morningness-eveningness propensity in adults born prematurely at very low birth weight (VLBW; < 1500g) and in controls born at term. At age 21 to 29 yrs, 184 participants completed the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Compared with controls, VLBW adults scored higher in morningness propensity (group difference: 2.8 scores, 95% confidence interval: 0.1 to 5.5; p = .042). This finding was confined to those VLBW adults whose birth weight was not small for gestational age, and remained similar when adjusting for age, sex, and working conditions. The finding is potentially important, since morningness is associated with beneficial health outcomes.
