The associations between morningness-eveningness, conscientiousness, and religiosity have not been investigated to date. The aim of the present research was to provide evidence for the relationships between these dimensions. Moreover, we tested whether the well-established link between morningness and life satisfaction could be explained by elevated religiosity of morning-oriented individuals and whether this relationship may be mediated by conscientiousness. The investigation was conducted on two independent samples of Polish adults (N = 500 and N = 728). Our results corroborated earlier findings that morningness was positively associated with both conscientiousness and satisfaction with life. We also found evidence for a significant positive association between morningness and religiosity. Moreover, controlling for age and gender, we obtained significant mediation effects showing that the association between morningness-eveningness and satisfaction with life might stem, at least in part, from the higher religiosity among morning-oriented individuals, also when conscientiousness was included in the model. It means that more morning-oriented individuals may benefit from higher psychological well-being thanks to both personality characteristics and attitudes towards religion.
目前尚未研究早晨型-夜晚型、尽责性和宗教信仰之间的关联。本研究旨在为这些维度之间的关系提供证据。此外,我们还检验了早晨型个体较高的宗教信仰是否可以解释与生活满意度之间的既定联系,以及这种关系是否可以通过尽责性来中介。该研究在两个独立的波兰成年人样本(N=500 和 N=728)上进行。我们的研究结果证实了之前的发现,即早晨型与尽责性和生活满意度呈正相关。我们还发现了早晨型与宗教信仰之间存在显著正相关的证据。此外,在控制年龄和性别后,我们获得了显著的中介效应,表明早晨型-夜晚型与生活满意度之间的关联至少部分源于早晨型个体的宗教信仰程度更高,即使在考虑到尽责性的情况下也是如此。这意味着,由于人格特征和对宗教的态度,更多的早晨型个体可能会从更高的心理幸福感中受益。
