This study investigated the relationship between locomotion and morningness–eveningness. As locomotors strive for psychological movement towards goals, waking up early in the morning was hypothesized to match their concerns for immediate action. Participants were 342 psychology students (Mage = 24.69) from the University of Rome ‘‘La Sapienza’’ who completed the locomotion scale and the morningness questionnaire. As hypothesized, results indicate that individuals who have a strong locomotion orientation are more morning-oriented. Results are discussed with reference to regulatory mode theory

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between locomotion and morningness–eveningness. As locomotors strive for psychological movement towards goals, waking up early in the morning was hypothesized to match their concerns for immediate action. Participants were 342 psychology students (Mage = 24.69) from the University of Rome ‘‘La Sapienza’’ who completed the locomotion scale and the morningness questionnaire. As hypothesized, results indicate that individuals who have a strong locomotion orientation are more morning-oriented. Results are discussed with reference to regulatory mode theoryFile in questo prodotto:
