Sažetak
Introduction:Horne and Östberg Morningness- Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) is a questionnaire widely used to assess the circadian typology. The aim of this study was to translate the MEQ from English into Croatian.Methods:The translation process included two independent forward translations, integration of the forward translation into a single translation, back- translation, back translation review and drafting of the final translation.Results:No semantic differences wereobserved when comparing the original and the back-translation ; thus, only minimal alterations were done to the final translation, compared to the first one.Conclusions:The Croatian version of the MEQ is a reliable translation ready to be tested in a Croatian sample.
