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.
时间感知会受到情绪刺激的影响。本研究旨在探讨厌恶感对年轻人时间感知的影响。在这里，我们报告了两个实验，其中使用二分时间任务，间隔持续 400ms（短标准）到 1600ms（长标准）。在实验 1 中，时间间隔由中性图像或食物（腐烂、快乐）、面部（厌恶、快乐）类别的图像标记。在实验 2 中，使用了属于七个不同领域的厌恶诱发和中性刺激：面部、食物、动物、身体产品、伤害/感染、死亡和卫生。结果表明，与中性条件相比，使用厌恶面孔（实验 1 和 2）和令人厌恶的死亡和卫生刺激（实验 2）时会出现时间高估，而使用腐烂食物的图像（实验 1）时会出现时间低估。结果根据基于唤醒和基于注意的过程进行了讨论，并表明情绪成分的程度会影响时间感知。
