The Effect of Socio-Cultural Factors on Time Perception
TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between income and place of residence of Estonians and Russians with their time perception and found that Russians underestimated time durations 6% more than Estonians.Abstract:
Current study examined relationships between income and place of residence of Estonians and Russians with their time perception. It was analyzed the data of 2227 residents of Estonia (1628 Estonians and 599 Russians ages 15 through 74 years, 972 men and 1255 women). Participants were interviewed with CAPI method (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) and completed Time Production Task (TPT). As a result, reported before tendency of Russians to underproduce time intervals more than Estonians (Maar, 2013) was confirmed. Russians underestimated time durations 6% more than Estonians. However, hypotheses that difference in time perception of Estonians and Russians associated with income and place of residence didn’t find it`s confirmation.read more

Psychological and physiological implications of time perception
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a clock-based model of the human brain, which is based on the internal representation of the biological brain and the internal clock of a human brain.

TL;DR: Empirical evidence is presented indicating that the processes relating urbanization to economic development and knowledge creation are very general, being shared by all cities belonging to the same urban system and sustained across different nations and times.

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.
