Abstract

Time perception can be distorted by emotional stimuli. The present study aims to investigate the effect of disgust on time perception in young adults. Here, we report two experiments in which a time bisection task was used with intervals lasting 400 ms (short standard) to 1600 ms (long standard). In Experiment 1, temporal intervals were marked by neutral images or images from food (rotten, joyful), and facial (disgust, happy) categories. In Experiment 2, disgust-eliciting and neutral stimuli belonging to seven different domains were used: faces, food, animals, body products, injury/infections, death and hygiene. Results showed temporal overestimations when, compared to neutral conditions, disgusted faces (Experiments 1 and 2) and disgusting death and hygiene stimuli (Experiment 2) were used, and a temporal underestimation when images of rotten food (Experiment 1) were used. Results are discussed in terms of arousal-based and attention-based processes and showed that the degree of the emotional component influences time perception.
Voetnoten
1
It cannot be excluded that the neutral grey circle was less disgusting than the disgusting scenes, and thus was less arousing. Thanks to an anonymous reviewer for pointing out this possibility.
 
2
In Experiment 2, we decided to use images from the DIRTI database for food stimuli instead of the images used in Experiment 1 (the FRIDa database), because they were part of a standardised dataset including different disgusting categories and we preferred to use the images from the same dataset.
