TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that stress led to increases in subjective to objective time ratio (t(37) = 2.34, p <.05), and time following a period of stress was reported to pass quickly.
Abstract: : Changes in time perception during and following experiences of stress and relaxation are commonly reported, but little is known about the direction and nature of any time perception changes. In this experimental study, men and women ages 18 to 79 were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: stress (n = 39) - speech preparation and presentation, relaxation (n = 38) - a progressive muscle relaxation exercise, or control (n = 39) - listening to a biography on tape. Multiple measures of time production, time estimation, perceived rate, and attention to time domains (past, present, and future) were made before and after the experimental phase. Retrospective time estimates were made after the experimental phase. Self report, physiological, and biochemical measures of stress were used to evaluate response to the experimental conditions, and results were consistent with increased stress in the stress condition and increased relaxation in the relaxation condition. Measures of duration judgment were relatively consistent within individuals with larger variance from person to person. Some of the individual variance was associated with gender and age with women having generally larger duration judgment ratios (subjective/objective time) than did men (t(110)=2.91, p<.01) and age was significantly correlated with duration judgment ratio. Time was reported to pass slower than usual during relaxation (t(34) = 5.37, p<.01), but time spent relaxed was remembered as significantly shorter than time spent in the control activity (F(2,108) = 9.88, p <.01). Stress led to increases in subjective to objective time ratio (t(37) = 2.34, p <.05), and time following a period of stress was reported to pass quickly. Attention to the present was related to lower reported distress, whereas attention to the past was positively correlated with self-reported distress. These data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the relationship between time and personality and time and behavior are discussed, and argue that time is strongly related to the emergence of conflicts, and several time-related heuristics and aspects linking dimensions of time in relation to various aspects of life are presented.
Abstract: This chapter discusses the dimension of time in relation to various aspects of life. After presenting several types of time – physical, biological and psychological time – the relationship between time and personality and time and behavior are discussed. Two cultural categories are defined – the Western technological culture and the “non-Western” cultures, differing in their attitude toward time: Western technological culture, having a linear and quantitative perception of time, as opposed to “non-Western” cultures, having a cyclical and qualitative perception of time. The concept “time perspective” – the subjective organization and perception of the past, the present and the future – is introduced, and differences in time perspective between individuals and between cultures are discussed. It is argued that time is strongly related to the emergence of conflicts. Several time-related heuristics and aspects linking dimensions of time to the emergence of conflicts are presented. As conflict resolution processes take time, negotiators’ relation to time influences those processes. Time is often tactically used as a source of power by the party lacking a sense of urgency, and is frequently used in setting deadlines. And time is essential in building trust between negotiating parties. As the temporal perspective is a major factor in conflict resolution, holding future time perspectives by both parties might be optimal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of five separate experiments conducted in space (microgravity) and on a human centrifuge (macrogravity) involved both time and mass perception of humans in these non-terrestrial environments.
