Abstract
We analyzed the associations between three metrics of circadian timing (circadian preference, chronotype, circadian phase) and levels of negative affect (NA) among 119 adolescents (54.6% female; Mage=17.3 years). Greater evening preference predicted higher morning and evening NA; later chronotype predicted higher morning NA. Specificity is important when operationalizing circadian timing.
