Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la relación entre la matutinidad-vespertinidad y la ansiedad rasgo en adolescentes. La muestra estaba formada por 638 adolescentes de 12 a 14 años. Se midió la matutinidadvespertinidad mediante la Escala de Matutinidad-Vespertinidad para Niños, MESC (Carskadon, Vieira y Acebo, 1993) y la ansiedad rasgo mediante el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo para niños, STAIC (Spielberger, Edwards, Lushene, Montuori y Platzek, 1973; Spielberger, Edwards y Lushene, 1990). Los resultados indicaron que las chicas eran más vespertinas,
que la vespertinidad aumentaba con la edad y una relación negativa entre matutinidad y ansiedad rasgo. Aquellos adolescentes más vespertinos obtuvieron una mayor ansiedad rasgo, posiblemente debido a un mayor desajusteentre los ritmos biológicos y sociales (horarios escolares matutinos
The relationship between morningness-eveningness and anxiety trait among adolescents was studied. Six hundred thirty eight adolescents between 12 and 14 years old participated in this study. Morningness-eveningness was measured by the Morningness-Eveningness Scale for Children, MESC (Carskadon, Vieira & Acebo, 1993) and anxiety trait was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, STAIC (Spielberger, Edwards, Lushene, Montuori & Platzek, 1973; Spielberger, Edwards & Lushene, 1990). Results showed higher eveningness among girls, eveningness increased with age and anxiety trait was higher as morningness diminished. Therefore, evening-oriented adolescents claimed higher anxiety trait, which was waited since they would have a greater misalignment between both biological and social rhythms (school morning schedules).
