Diurnal Mood Fluctuation and Age.

Templer, Donald I.; And Others

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v14 n3 p189-93 1981-82

Studied the nature of diurnal mood variations in 173 persons aged 13 to 82. Results indicated adolescents and young adults tended to report better moods toward evening while middle-aged and elderly persons reported better moods in the morning. Limited findings suggest the opposite trends for depressed psychiatric patients (Author/JA)
