Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire: Reliability and factorial structure of the full and reduced versions in Spanish adolescents

This study analyzed the suitability of the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) for Spanish adolescents, focusing on reliability, structure, and age/sex invariance. 2,268 adolescents (49.1% girls, aged 12–17) participated. Four MEQ items were unsuitable, leading to a 15-item version (MEQ-15)...
