MonDie Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I thought I might make a diversion from the spam. It's not an unreasonable idea that Earth's seasons may result in some links between birth month and psychological traits. What investigation has been done into this? I would have read this paper if it were free. Perinatal photoperiod imprints the circadian clock (Ciarleglio, Axley, Strauss, Gamble, McMahon, 2010) An idea of my own is that, since depressed people are less interested in sex, people with inherited seasonal depression might tend to be concieved during the sunnier months.

MonDie Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I'm doing a search. I'll add them as I find them. Firstly, this article seems to discuss the circadian clock study linked above. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101205202510.htm Apparently later research only confirm the relationship to mood disorders. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141018205411.htm PERSONALITY http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304394009001219 [ABSTRACT] Season of birth and personality in healthy young adults.
