“…associated with impaired driving. [42][43][44] Moreover, an evening chronotype has been reported to be specifically associated with increased risk-taking in potentially dangerous traffic conditions 45 In the FC study of student drivers discussed previously 38 compared with those with a morning chronotype, the adjusted prevalence of drowsy driving was 15.2% (95% CI 4.5% to 25.9%) higher among those with an evening chronotype. Thus, later school start times (8:30 AM or later 46 ) may positively affect sleep and risk-taking behavior both by increasing sleep time and better aligning sleep timing.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the association between a 50-minute delay (7:20 AM to 8:10 AM) in high school start times in Fairfax County (FC) Virginia and changes in rates of adolescent motor vehicle crashes. Crash rates in FC were also compared to those in the rest of the state during the same time period. Methods: Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles crash data in drivers age 16 to 18 years old between September and June of each year in FC versus the rest of the state were compared in the combined 2-year periods preceding (

Circadian leadership: A review and integration of chronobiology and leadership

A vast body of knowledge within the field of chronobiology highlights a broad array of important effects that circadian rhythms and chronotypes have on individual performance. Circadian rhythms are predictable fluctuations of energetic activation produced by an internal pacemaker, the circadian clock, that governs the daily functioning of the human body and mind. Chronotypes are individual differences in the setting of this biological clock that influence preferences for the optimal timing of daily periods of activity and rest. In this paper, we review the chronobiology literature as it applies to leadership research to advance a circadian leadership perspective that integrates circadian science with leadership science. We outline how a circadian perspective can help researchers to understand how time of day interacts with circadian processes to influence the effectiveness of task-, relational-, and change-oriented leadership activities. Our circadian perspective also extends research on leader and follower individual differences by explaining the effects of chronotypes on leadership behaviors and outcomes. We develop propositions based on the most promising insights that have emerged from the literature review, advance ideas for future theory development and research, and discuss implications for leaders in practice.

“…Although previous studies have examined the relationship between chronotype and risk-taking behavior, the effects of chronotype on risk-taking behavior has not been observed consistently in different domains and across studies. For example, although eveningness was previously reported to be associated with a greater propensity to take risks in financial, ethical, and recreational domains [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) score found no association with scores obtained on the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART), which is designed to measure risk-taking in terms of monetary gains [ 16 ]. The study adopted a general Chinese college student sample to investigate the relationship between chronotype and risk-taking behavior.…”

Background: Although previous studies indicate that chronotype might be associated with risk-taking behavior, the specific mechanism has not been thoroughly discussed. This study aimed to fill this gap by exploring the mediating role of self-control and the chain mediating role of self-control and emotional stability between chronotype and risk-taking behavior. Methods: A total of 547 Chinese college students between 18 and 24 years old were selected to complete the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), Self-Control Scale (SCS), Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire-neuroticism (EPQ-N), and Adolescent Risk-Taking Questionnaire: Risk Behavior Scale (ARQ-RB) to assess chronotype, risk-taking behavior, self-control, and emotional stability, respectively. Hayes’ PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to test the relationships among these variables. Results: Our result showed significant positive correlations among chronotype, self-control, emotional stability, and significant negative correlations between self-control, emotional stability, and risk-taking behavior. We also found that chronotype had a significant predictive effect on risk-taking behavior in the chain mediation model. Specifically, chronotype affected risk-taking behavior through two pathways: the separate mediating role of self-control and the serial mediation pathway of self-control → emotional stability. Conclusions: Our study provides direct evidence that chronotype is associated with risk-taking behavior. The results showed that the predictive function of chronotype was mediated by self-control and emotional stability. This study provides a new perspective on preventing and reducing risk-taking behavior.
