Studies show that eveningness preference and depressive symptoms are positively related. However, little is known about possible factors that could reduce this association. In the present study, we examine the moderating effects of religiosity on the relationship between eveningness and depressive symptoms. The main analyses were conducted on a group of 606 individuals (300 women and 306 men) aged 18 to 36 years (M = 29.00, SD = 4.95). The participants completed the Composite Scale of Morningness, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the Centrality of Religiosity Scale. Our results confirmed earlier findings that eveningness was positively related to depressive symptoms. The magnitude of this association decreased with higher religiosity. This lead to the conclusion that religiosity may act as a protective factor against elevated depressive symptoms among evening-oriented individuals.
研究表明，晚睡偏好与抑郁症状呈正相关。然而，对于可能降低这种关联的因素知之甚少。在本研究中，我们检验了宗教信仰对晚睡和抑郁症状之间关系的调节作用。主要分析是在一组 606 名年龄在 18 至 36 岁的个体（女性 300 名，男性 306 名）中进行的（M=29.00，SD=4.95）。参与者完成了综合晨暮量表、患者健康问卷-9 和宗教中心性量表。我们的结果证实了之前的发现，即晚睡偏好与抑郁症状呈正相关。这种关联的强度随着宗教信仰的增加而降低。这得出结论，宗教信仰可能是保护那些倾向于晚睡的人免受抑郁症状升高的影响的一个因素。
