Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study were to determine the periodicity in mood states and to explore the relationship between circadian type and mood states.
The 105 female subjects were given the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to determine MorningnessEveningness (Home & Ostberg, 1976). They also reported their morning and evening mood states on 6 seperate days using the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist (Zuckerman & Lubin, 1965) Pearson correlation coefficient and t-test were used to analyze the data.
The result indicated that mood states were not diurnal variation but weekly pattern probably. There was not a significant difference in mood states between morning and evening. A positive correlation existed between the mood states of anxiety and depression, however no significant correlations between the mood states of anxiety and hostility, depression and hostility.
Morning and evening mood states were related to circadian type, i.e., morning type was higher positive mood states in the morning than the evening and evening type was higher in the evening than the morning.
Based on the above results, it was found that circadian type is useful concept for assessing the mood states and performance level on ill subjects as well as healthy subjects.
