“…Energy is called Extraversion in other questionnaires based on the Big Five model, such as the NEO-PI by Costa and McCrae, and is a personality factor concerning parameters of assertiveness, activity, positive emotion, and gregariousness, similar to those concerning the factor Extraversion. Moreover, our results reveal a higher percentage of subjects with intermediate disposition; these data can be compared to previous studies reporting higher percentages of intermediate types [48], though with exceptions, and, usually, lower percentages of Morning and Evening types, depending on the samples explored [49,53,56,57]. …”

“…Our data can be compared to previous research, which reported that Evening types usually score higher on Impulsivity, Neuroticism, Sociability, and Psychoticism [41,52] and Morning types score higher on Conscientiousness [53]. Unlike other research [53], in our sample, Morning types scored higher on Openness to Culture. Morningness-Eveningness disposition can also have a role in Extraversion [40].…”

BackgroundYoga is a psychophysical, spiritual science of holistic living, aiming towards body and mind development; it can influence well-being, cognitive processes, personality (Gunas), psychophysiological parameters, and human health. Since it has been observed that Morningness-Eveningness disposition is associated with personality, and that personality can characterize people practicing Yoga, in this exploratory study we posited that Morningness-Eveningness might be associated with personality in Yoga trainees. Since Yoga can have influences over cognitive perspectives, and since it has been observed that Morningness-Eveningness disposition can associate with cognitive processes, we investigated a sample of Yoga trainees with reference to relationship with styles of learning and thinking (relevant aspects of cognitive functioning) and also with Morningness-Eveningness disposition.Material/MethodWe tested 184 Yoga trainees using the following questionnaires: Styles of Learning and Thinking (Torrance), Big Five Questionnaire (Caprara, Barbaranelli, Borgogni), and reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (Natale).ResultsWe found that Morning types score significantly higher than Evening types on Conscientiousness, Friendliness, Scrupulousness, Openness to Culture, emotional Stability, emotion Control, they score higher than intermediate types on Conscientiousness, Friendliness, Scrupulousness. Moreover, data showed that the high majority of subjects, also with reference to Morningness-Eveningness disposition, have right-sided styles of learning and thinking, pointing out a tendency towards right-sided cognitive precessing in the whole sample. Personality traits of the Yoga trainees were also investigated.ConclusionsData are discussed with reference to existing literature, psychological and neuroscientific perspectives are suggested, previous studies about Yoga published on Medical Science Monitor are also considered.

“…Overall, findings for the relation between circadian preference and openness are inconsistent. Some of the studies reported small negative correlations with morningness (Cavallera & Giampietro, 2007; Díaz-Morales, 2007; Dresch et al, 2005; Hogben, Ellis, Archer, & von Schantz, 2007; Russo, Leone, Penolazzi, & Natale, 2012; Tsaousis, 2010), whereas others reported moderate positive relations (Randler, 2008b; Zelenski et al, 2003) or no significant relation (DeYoung, Hasher, Djikic, Criger, & Peterson, 2007; Tonetti, Fabbri, & Natale, 2009). In sum, research findings do not reveal systematic relations between circadian preference and openness.…”

This study explores relations between measures of individuals' circadian preferences and the Big Five. To this end, we compared a model of circadian preferences that acknowledges morningness (M) and eveningness (E) as separate dimensions to that of a model that places M and E on a single continuum (M-E). Analyses of 620 correlations from 44 independent samples (N = 16,647) revealed weak to modest relations between both dimensions of circadian preferences and the Big Five personality traits. The strongest observed relation was found between Conscientiousness and M (ρ = .37). In the next step, regression analyses revealed that personality traits accounted for between 10.9% and 16.4% of the variance in circadian preferences. Of all the Big Five dimensions, Conscientiousness exhibited the strongest unique relation with M (β = .32), E (β = -.26), and M-E (β = .32). Extraversion and Openness exhibited moderate unique relations with E (β = .23 and β = .17, respectively), whereas relations with M (β = .00 and β = .04), and M-E (β = -.05 and β = -.06) were relatively weak. Neuroticism exhibited a modest unique and negative relation with M (β = -.16), and Agreeableness was largely unrelated to all circadian preference variables. To determine whether these findings translated into anything of applied significance, we explored relations between circadian preference and academic performance. M and E incremented slightly over the Big Five factors in predicting grade-point average. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…As a result of that, it has raised the interest of some linguists in this respect (De Bot -Fang, 2017). According to earlier research, morning and evening personality types can be correlated with certain personality factors such as emotional stability, trustworthiness, creativity, originality and so on (Giampietro -Cavallera, 2007a).…”

It is assumed that there is a more or less optimal time during the day for learning new school material, which can vary for different people. It is known that circadian rhythm and certain physiological functions in the human body are closely interconnected. Similarly, according to earlier research, morning and evening personality types can be correlated with certain personality factors. The purpose of the study is to investigate the optimal vocabulary learning habits of two different groups of learners, the early risers or the larks (L) and those who normally get up late and work late, the owls (O). A small scale experiment was conducted to investigate and analyze the best optimal time and the least optimal time that can potentially influence success at learning new vocabulary items. The research questions were aimed at discovering the most effective learning hours for both the owls and the larks. A shorter version of the Munich Chrono Type Questionnaire (MCTQ) was administered to potential participants. Then learning sessions were organized for both groups with the memorization of new vocabulary items followed by tests. It is a small-scale research, and long term implications cannot be drawn without further research. Since the results are somewhat contradictory to earlier findings; more emphasis should be given to this area of research. The results are promising for developing learning strategies; however, further research is needed to acquire more reliable findings. Examining the circadian rhythm of learners has important future implications in foreign language learning and teaching.
