micro_mctq {mctq}

A fictional \muMCTQ dataset

Description

A fictional dataset, for testing and learning purposes, composed of basic/measurable and computed variables of the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ) micro (\mu) version.

This data was created following the guidelines in Ghotbi et al. (2020), in addition to the guidelines in Roenneberg, Wirz-Justice, & Merrow (2003), Roenneberg, Allebrandt, Merrow, & Vetter (2012), Jankowski (2017), and The Worldwide Experimental Platform (n.d.). See the References and Details sections to learn more.

Details

micro_mctq is a tidied, validated, and transformed version of raw_data("micro_mctq.csv").

Guidelines

To learn more about the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ), see Roenneberg, Wirz-Justice, & Merrow (2003), Roenneberg, Allebrandt, Merrow, & Vetter (2012), Roenneberg et al. (2015), and Roenneberg, Pilz, Zerbini, & Winnebeck (2019).

To know about different MCTQ versions, see Juda, Vetter, & Roenneberg (2013) and Ghotbi et.al (2020).

To learn about the sleep-corrected social jetlag, see Jankowski (2017).

If you're curious about the variable computations and want to have access to the full questionnaire, see The Worldwide Experimental Platform (n.d.).

Data building and data wrangling

This dataset was created by randomized sampling (see random_mctq()) and by manual insertions of special cases. Its purpose is to demonstrate common cases and data issues that researchers may find in their MCTQ data, in addition to be a suggested data structure for MCTQ data.

You can see the micro_mctq build and data wrangling processes here.

Variable naming

The naming of the variables took into account the naming scheme used in MCTQ publications, in addition to the guidelines of the tidyverse style guide.

Variable classes

The mctq package works with a set of object classes specially created to hold time values. These classes can be found in the hms and lubridate package.

Duration objects

If you prefer to view Duration objects as hms objects, run pretty_mctq(micro_mctq).
