Changes in Few Psychological Parameters Due to the Alteration Of the Diurnal Rhythm

One of the reasons of the alteration of the diurnal rhythm is the prolonged disturbance of the day night schedules seen in the employees of many companies, factories, call centers, night guards, watchmen, police men doing the night beat, railway drivers, guards doing the night shift etc. The manifestations of such disturbances can be observed, externally, in the behavior and the psyche of the workers, moreover the prolonged exposure to such conditions can also lead to physiological changes. The present study was conducted in Moradabad among the brass factory workers working the night shift. The study was conducted on three test groups often each and a group was kept as control. The parameters used to determine the results for the study are as follows: aggression, anxiety, and job satisfaction. The study shows a remarkable change in the psychological condition of the subjects as compared to their other counter parts working the day shift. The results clearly indicate A directly proportional relationship between altered diurnal rhythm and aggression. A directly proportional relationship between altered diurnal rhythm and anxiety and an inversely proportional relationship between altered diurnal rhythm and job satisfaction.
