Does Time Fly 20 m above the Ground? Exploring the Role of Affective Response on Time Perception in a High‐risk Sport

TLDR
In this article, a field study was performed in a Via Ferrata to explore how affective response influences time perception during an arousing activity in a real-life setting (passing through a 69m-long, 20m-high, two-rope bridge).
Abstract
Summary A field study (n = 61) was performed in a Via Ferrata to explore how affective response influences time perception during an arousing activity in a real-life setting (passing through a 69-m-long, 20-m-high, two-rope bridge). Two questionnaires were administered (i) at the end point of the bridge (high-arousing condition) and (ii) close to the end of the Via Ferrata (low-arousing condition). Participants assessed their affect (arousal, valence, and dominance) and provided retrospective (duration estimation and passage of time judgments) and prospective (to produce a subjective minute using a stopwatch) temporal judgments. The results showed that the actual performance mediated the relationship between affect and retrospective time perception measures, with the exception of dominance, which directly predicted passage of time judgments. Regarding prospective measures, an increase in arousal was parallel to shorter temporal productions. The results are discussed in terms of the emotional factors underlying time perception in ecological contexts.Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A matter of time: how does emotion influence temporal aspects of remembering?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and review two broad ways in which memory for time has been conceptualized in the emotional memory literature, namely memory for relative aspects of event timing ("when" an event detail occurred), which includes studies of temporal-order and source memory; and memory for the time that elapsed during an event ("how long"), which includes cases of retrospective duration estimation.

Dauerwahrnehmung und Nutzererleben in der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured how users perceive the duration of an interaction and how this perception correlates with the user experience (UX) and found that the overall assessment of a duration is strongly based upon the estimated duration but also affected by the user's affective state.

TL;DR: The results indicate that high arousal accompanied by high positive valence scores after jumping either improved performance or led to a lack of impairment in certain cognitive tasks.

Seeing in Slow Motion: Manipulating Arousal in Virtual Reality:

TL;DR: The only evidence that seeing in slow motion exists comes from retrospective interviews as discussed by the authors, and it is not clear whether this phenomenon exists as a figment of memory or a true function of visual perc...

Scalar timing in memory.

TL;DR: The generalized account proposed here will develop the conclusion that scalar sources dominate in some time ranges, while other sources may dominate in others, and are applied to two additional timing tasks with different characteristics.
