fd: Compute MCTQ work-free days

In ropensci/mctq: Munich ChronoType Questionnaire Tools

Compute MCTQ work-free days

Description

fd() computes the number of work-free days per week for standard and micro versions of the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ).

Usage

fd(wd)

Arguments

wd	An integerish numeric object or an integer object corresponding to the number of workdays per week from a standard or micro version of the MCTQ questionnaire.

Details

Standard MCTQ functions were created following the guidelines in Roenneberg, Wirz-Justice, & Merrow (2003), Roenneberg, Allebrandt, Merrow, & Vetter (2012), and from The Worldwide Experimental Platform (theWeP, n.d.).

\muMCTQ functions were created following the guidelines in Ghotbi et al. (2020), in addition to the guidelines used for the standard MCTQ.

MCTQ^{Shift} functions were created following the guidelines in Juda, Vetter, & Roenneberg (2013), in addition to the guidelines used for the standard MCTQ.

See the References section to learn more.

Value

An integer object corresponding to the difference between the number of days in a week (7) and the number of workdays (wd).

Guidelines

Roenneberg, Allebrandt, Merrow, & Vetter (2012) and The Worldwide Experimental Platform (n.d.) guidelines for fd() (FD) computation are as follows.

FD = 7 - WD

Where:

• FD = Number of work-free days per week.

• WD = Number of workdays per week ("I have a regular work schedule and work ___ days per week").
