Background: Attention and distortion in emotional processing is one of the persistent factors in many mental disorders. But do emotional processing styles mediate the relationship between sleep quality, lateral superiority, and circadian rhythms with meta-memory? Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of emotional processing styles in the relationship between sleep quality, lateral superiority and circadian rhythms with metacognition in students. Method: This is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population consisted of 2300 undergraduate psychology students of Islamshahr Azad University (97-98). 200 subjects were selected through stratified random sampling. Research instruments include: Nedeljkowicz and Kierius (2007), Memory Confidence and Cognition Scale (Baker et al. (2007)), Horner & Ostberg Morning-Evening Scale (1976), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (Bovis et al., 1989). And Chapman's Evaluation of Side Advantage Checklist (1987). Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. Results: Circadian rhythms, lateral superiority, and sleep quality with a coefficient of 0.53 had a significant effect on memory in the presence of mediating factor of emotional processing styles (P< 0/05).
Conclusions: Emotional processing styles play a mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality, lateral superiority, and circadian rhythms with memory.
