Research evidence
Klein- found that passenger travelling East to West took only 1 day to adjust
whereas passengers travelling West to East took 6 days on average to adjust.
Results were independent of whether people were travelling back to or away from home.
Suggests poeple find it harder to adjust to phase advance than phase delay.
Futher evidence
Recht- studied results of US baseball teams over 3 Years
Teams travelling East to West won 44% of their games.
Teams travelling West to East won only 37% of games.
One criticism of this research is that the teams in the East may just simply have been better than those in the West.
However this variable should of evened itself out over 3 Years.
