研究情绪和时间知觉的相互作用为认知和情绪的基础机制提供了关键信息。然而,大多数研究情绪在时间知觉中的作用的文献都集中在刺激的效价上,或者自我报告情绪的相关研究。在本研究中,31名健康大学生在自传体悲伤情绪诱导程序前后完成了时间判断任务。在时间判断任务中,参与者确定所呈现的中性刺激是否与目标相同的持续时间(2秒)。沿着靶试验,以随机顺序和等比例列出了极短(1.25 s)、短(1.6 s)、长(2.25 s)和超长(3.125 s)试验。情绪诱导后,悲伤和恐惧的等级增加,但在研究结束时恢复到基线。情绪诱导后,参与者显着增加时间高估,因为参与者更有可能肯定短时间比长时间的试验匹配的目标。这些结果表明,在其他健康的成年人中,情绪的短暂变化可以加速时间的主观体验。悲伤可以增加与接近动机相关的时间知觉的生理成分。
Investigating the interaction of mood and time perception has provided key information in the mechanisms that underlie cognition and emotion. However, much of the literature that has investigated the role of emotions in time perception has focused on the valence of stimuli, or correlational studies of self-reported mood. In the present study, 31 healthy undergraduates completed a temporal judgment task before and after an autobiographical sad mood induction procedure. In the temporal judgment task, participants identified whether a presented neutral stimulus was onscreen for the same duration as a target (2 s). Along with target trials, very short (1.25 s), short (1.6 s), long (2.25 s), and very long (3.125 s) trials were presented in random order and in equal proportion. Following mood induction, ratings of sadness and fear increased, but returned to baseline at the end of the study. After the mood induction, participants significantly increased temporal overestimation as participants were more likely to affirm short than long-duration trials as matching the target. These results indicate that transient changes in mood in otherwise healthy adults can accelerate the subjective experience of time. Sadness may increase physiological components of time perception that are related approach motivation.
