时型是指个体在昼夜睡眠-觉醒周期和全天主观警觉性方面的差异。它是影响人们驾驶行为的一个潜在因素，但还没有研究探索这一话题背后的机制。本研究旨在探讨早晚偏好与驾驶行为之间的关系，以及视觉搜索在二者之间的中介作用。38名司机根据他们的时间类型被选为这项研究的参与者。根据他们在简化早晚问卷(RMEQ)上的得分，将他们分为早型组和晚型组。两组受试者分别在上午和晚上完成了视觉搜索任务和模拟驾驶任务。结果表明，早晚偏好对基本驾驶行为有同步影响，早型驾驶员早晚驾驶行为好于晚间，晚班驾驶员表现出相反的趋势。此外，视觉搜索能力在早晚偏好与驾驶成绩之间起到了中介作用。对这些结果背后的机制进行了讨论。相关结果和数据可能有助于职业司机的时间表安排。
Chronotype refers to individual differences in the timing of circadian sleep-wake cycles and subjective alertness throughout the day. It is a potential factor influencing people's driving behaviour, but no research has explored the mechanisms underlying this topic. The current study aimed to explore the relationship between morningness-eveningness preferences and driving behaviour and the mediating effect of visual search between them. Thirty-eight drivers were selected to participate in this study based on their chronotype. They were divided into morning-type and evening-type groups by their score on the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ). Both groups completed a visual search task and a simulated driving task in a morning session and an evening session. The results showed that morningness-eveningness preferences had synchronous effects on basic driving performance; specifically, morning-type drivers showed better driving behaviour in the morning than in the evening, and evening-type drivers showed the opposite trend. Furthermore, visual search abilities showed a mediating effect between morningness-eveningness preference and driving performance. The mechanisms underlying these results are discussed. Related results and data could aid with schedule arrangements for professional drivers.
