The aim of the present study was to adapt the Morningness-Eveningness-Stability Scale improved (MESSi) to the Spanish adolescent population, testing its factor structure and construct validity. The participants were 725 adolescents (52.9% girls; = 14.8, = 1.99) who completed the MESSi, the Morningness Eveningness Scale of Children (MESC), questions about sleep habits adapted from the School Sleep Habits Survey, and self-reported academic performance. The psychometric results support a three-factor model with the factors of morning affect, eveningness, and distinctness, which show good internal consistency. The pattern of correlations between MESSi and the other measures was in the expected direction. The MESC correlated positively with morning affect and negatively with eveningness, whereas distinctness was uncorrelated. Boys reported higher morningness, whereas girls reported higher distinctness. Eveningness was negatively related to academic performance. Overall, the results support the validity and reliability of the Spanish adolescent version of the MESSi.
本研究旨在将改良后的 Morningness-Eveningness-Stability Scale (MESSi) 适用于西班牙青少年群体，检验其因子结构和构念效度。参与者为 725 名青少年（52.9%为女生； = 14.8， = 1.99），他们完成了 MESSi、儿童 Morningness Eveningness Scale (MESC)、源自 School Sleep Habits Survey 的睡眠习惯问题以及自我报告的学业成绩。心理测量学结果支持具有三个因子的模型，分别为早晨情绪、傍晚型和区分度，这些因子具有良好的内部一致性。MESSi 与其他测量工具之间的相关模式符合预期。MESC 与早晨情绪呈正相关，与傍晚型呈负相关，而区分度则不相关。男生报告的早晨型较高，而女生报告的区分度较高。傍晚型与学业成绩呈负相关。总体而言，结果支持 MESSi 西班牙语青少年版本的有效性和可靠性。
