Relationship between circadian typology and functional and dysfunctional impulsivity

Adan, Ana, Natale, Vincenzo, Caci, Hervé, Prat, Gemma·2010·Chronobiology International

Abstract

The present study explores the relationships between functional and dysfunctional impulsivity factors, circadian typology, and sex. A sample of 850 university students (396 men) aged between 18 and 33 yrs of age completed the Dickman's Impulsivity Inventory (DII) and reduced morningness-eveningness questionnaire (rMEQ). Factorial analysis showed a dimensional clustering with satisfactory item saturation for both dimensions of impulsivity, especially in men and evening-type. Men presented higher values than women for functional and dysfunctional impulsivity, while morning-type subjects obtained lower scores in dysfunctional impulsivity than the neither- and evening-types. An interactive effect between circadian typology and sex was obtained for dysfunctional impulsivity. Higher scores in men for dysfunctional impulsivity were found in neither- and evening-types, while no significant differences were obtained between men and women in the morning-type group. The morning-type typology can be considered a protective factor for impulse control disorders, especially in men, but further research is needed on the clinical and neurobiological implications of our results.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Eveningness is associated with depression, reduced reward responsiveness, blunted positive affect rhythms, sensation seeking, poor self-regulation, and impulsivity.

    “eveningness is associated with depression, reduced reward responsiveness, blunted positive affect rhythms, sensation seeking, poor self-regulation, and impulsivity (70,71,73–79).”
  • Across adult studies, greater eveningness has been consistently associated with heightened impulsivity.

    “Across adult studies employing self-reported measures of chronotype and impulsivity, greater eveningness has been consistently associated with heightened impulsivity (i.e., Adan et al., 2010; Caci et al., 2004, 2005).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
