Sociable behavior is related to later fatigue: moment-to-moment patterns of behavior and tiredness
1Swedish School of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland.
Abstract:
The popular idea that extraverted behavior is mentally depleting has received support in one previous study. The present research attempted to replicate this finding and rule out some alternative explanations. An experience-sampling study was conducted to this end (N = 74, observations = 1046). The results showed that extraverted behavior was indeed related to feeling tired 2-3 h later. The results provide empirical evidence of an everyday life pattern between behavior and feelings states.
