威胁性情绪对时间知觉的影响--基于情绪动机理论的视角

The Effect of Threat-Related Emotions on Time Perception:Based on the Emotional Motivation Dimension

本研究从动机角度探讨两种特定的威胁性情绪(愤怒、恐惧)对时间知觉的影响。分别采用情绪面孔图片(实验1)和身体图片(实验2),通过时间比较任务(实验1、实验2)和时间估计任务(实验3),均发现了时间知觉在愤怒和恐惧这两种威胁性情绪影响下的差异:与中性情绪相比,愤怒引起主观时间变短,恐惧引起主观时间变长。研究揭示了情绪动机对时间知觉的影响,趋近动机下主观时间变短,回避动机下主观时间变长。

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of two specific threatening emotions,anger and fear on time perception based on the emotional motivation dimension theory.By using different emotional pictures(faces in Experiment 1 and bodies in Experiment 2)and different time perception tasks(time comparison tasks in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2,and time estimation tasks in Experiment 3),we found that compared with the neutral emotion,anger shortened the time perception while fear lengthened it.These results suggest that time perception becomes shorter under approach motivation and longer under withdrawal motivation.
