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.
