Chronotype refers to individual preferences regarding the timing of activity and rest within the circadian cycle. Previous research has demonstrated its associations with various aspects of social functioning. The present study examines how chronotype is related to daily feelings of social connectedness. A total of N = 224 participants (M = 47.66, SD = 17.57) were recruited. At baseline, participants completed the Morningness-Eveningness-Stability-Scale improved (MESSi), followed by 30 consecutive days of social connectedness assessments using a short version of the UBC State Social Connection Scale (UBC-SSCS). Analyses revealed that higher morning affect was associated both with higher overall levels and lower day-to-day variability in social connectedness. In contrast, higher distinctness was related to lower average levels of social connectedness and greater fluctuations across days. No significant associations were found between eveningness and social connectedness. These findings highlight the importance of morning affect, and crucially, circadian stability in contributing to individuals' perceived connection with others.
