Abstract
A total of 224 participants were assessed for their chronotype and social connectedness over 30 days.
- Higher morning affect is associated with greater overall levels of social connectedness and reduced variability day-to-day.
- Higher distinctness in chronotype is related to lower average levels of social connectedness and increased fluctuations across days.
- No significant relationship was found between eveningness and social connectedness.
- The findings suggest that morning affect and circadian stability may play important roles in individuals' feelings of connection with others.
