by At lunchtime it may be the best time to do an oral exam, an interview for a job or even go to court, as a new study has noticed.
The researchers of the Italian University of Messina found a significant difference in the pass rates of the students in the late morning compared to the early morning or in the late afternoon.
At 12 noon, the pupil’s existence rate was 72 percent compared to 54 percent at 8 a.m. and 51 percent at 4 p.m. The passage rates at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. were slightly lower at 67 percent.
“We show that the results of the academic evaluation systematically vary during the day, with a clear peak value when handing over the prices around noon,” said Professor Carmelo Mario Vicario.
“The students were more late in the morning than in the early morning or in the late afternoon,” he said. “We believe that this pattern could extend to interviews or an evaluation procedure that is planned all day.”
The study was based on the result of 104,552 reviews that had presented 680 examiners for 1,243 courses. The researchers have decided to examine the oral exams of the university that are more subjective and are not only marked with correct answers, but also in the delivery.
This is followed by studies that show that judges rule at the beginning of the meetings or after meal breaks in favor of a defendant.
However, it is believed that this could also be due to the types of cases that can be heard at various times of the day.
While the study was unable to identify the exact cause, it is said that the lunch summit matched the evidence that cognitive performance improves over the morning and decreases in the afternoon.
The report states that this could be due to the falling energy levels of the students and the professors who may give a harder brand if they have decision -making tiredness.
The researchers also said that it was a result of students and professors who compete with chronotypes, the natural preference of the body for sleep times.
“People in the early 20s are usually night schools, while people are in the forties or older nor.
Prof. Vicario suggested that the pupils to counter these effects benefit from better sleep, mental interruptions and planning tests outside of personal low periods.
“For institutions, the delay of morning meetings or clustering can improve important reviews in the late morning.
“We believe that this pattern could expand to interviews or an evaluation procedure that is planned all day.
“We would be very interested in examining whether settings of hiring in relation to the time of day fluctuate in fairness or result.”
