A rise in positive language until about noon, a leveling off and then a spiral into negative language from the 2:00 o’clock period until the market closed at 5:00 o’clock. Keep in mind these CEOs know that a wrong word or statement could send their stock on a downward spiral and, yet, the research found the same pattern. An earning call is one where a CEO reports quarterly on the earnings for his or her company. In addition, three universities conducted a survey of 26,000 earnings calls for 2,100 publicly traded phone calls. This rise in the morning, peaking around noon then leveling off and decreasing from around two o’clock until 5 o’clock and then rising again to reach an optimal mood around seven o’clock was also discovered by researchers who used computer algorithms to study the positive and negative language on Twitter worldwide. Patterns from the Research Begin to Emerge Their mood then leveled off and declined in the early afternoon and began to rise again around five o’clock and rose to reach another optimal level at about seven in the evening. The participant’s mood rose in the morning hours until it reached an optimal point at around noon. What they discovered was over the course of the day there were persistent patterns. They surveyed over 900 American women of all races, ages, education and background. The DRM method had participants rate their previous day based on recollections divided up into sections, likening each section as if it were an approximately two-hour block of time, like a film. In 2006, Daniel Kaheman and Alan Krueger created the Day Reconstruction Method (DRM). This research has led to the discovery of time-based patterns which affect how we perform and feel and how we can more effectively design our daily lives. It is known as chronobiology.Ĭhronobiologists and other researchers began looking at the physiological aspects of our biological clocks and have now expanded to include emotions and behaviors. The internal timekeepers govern a collection of what are known as circadian rhythms that create the daily back beat of every living creature.įrom its infancy, back in the eighteenth century, a new science has emerged which studies the circadian rhythms. Scientists, for nearly three decades, have established that all living things-from a single cell organism living in a pond to a multicellular organism living in a subdivision-possess an internal biological clock. 6 Putting It All Together The History of the Biological Clock
