情绪影响时间知觉的性别差异

Gender differences in effects of emotion on time perception

目的探讨情绪影响时间知觉的性别差异。方法让38名大学生志愿者完成时间等分任务。结果在低唤醒图片,800 ms时距条件下,男性较女性高估时间;相对于低唤醒图片及中性图片,男性与女性均高估高唤醒图片的持续时间,但没有发现男性或女性被试估计低唤醒图片与中性图片持续时间的差异。结论性别因素影响情绪在时间知觉上的作用;情绪唤醒主要通过唤醒机制影响时间知觉。

Objective To explore the gender differences in effects of emotion on time perception. Methods A total of 38 subjects participated in the temporal bisection task. Results The 800 ms duration of low arousal pictures perceived by men was longer than that perceived by women. The participants judged that high arousal stimuli lasted longer than low arousal and neutral stimuli, but both men and women neither overestimated nor underestimated low arousal pictures compared with the neutral ones. Conclusions The effects of emotion on time perception are not the same for different genders. The affective arousal influence time perception is via arousal mechanism.
