    Area of Science:

    • Family Studies
    • Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Existing family process research often overlooks the temporal dimension.
    • Human temporal patterning and subjective experience are complex and under-researched in family contexts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and explore the integration of time as a variable in family process.
    • To examine the role of chronotypes (morningness/nightness) in marital and family functioning.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing theories on human temporal patterning.
    • Presentation of empirical generalizations from a pilot study on chronotypes in family members.

    Main Results:

    • Pilot data suggest chronotype orientation is a relevant factor in family dynamics.

  • Individual differences in morningness and nightness may impact family interactions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Time, specifically chronobiology, offers a novel perspective for understanding family processes.
    • Further research is needed to fully delineate the implications of temporal variables in family systems.
