Full description

This is a behavioral observational study aimed at evaluating the impact that anxiety exerts on working people at the moment of awakening in the morning. Literature found out that anticipatory anxiety plays a key role as for awakening quality (experiencing self). This evaluation could change at the end of the working day due to biased memory effects (remembering self).

In Literature there are not studies which investigate the relationships between time to awakening before the alarm sounds and anxiety.

The study consists of a short self-administered questionnaire which will be given to workers to complete. In more details, the survey is made of five questions collecting information on type of work, people who use an alarm, time of awakening before the alarm goes off, feelings on the moment of awakening, and feelings as for the working day spent. Further, participants will have to complete an anxiety self-administered questionnaire on anxiety, and namely the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale.

Descriptive statistics will be presented by taking into account the characteristics of the sample being investigated. Statistical correlations between workers' answers and anxiety will be also evaluated.

This study's usefulness relies on detecting on advance mood disorders (like anxiety is) and maladaptive behaviors, in order to build persons' positive routines (i.e. well-being) and improve their productive quality at work.
