This paper examines how dogs can modulate the effects of emotion on time perception. To this end, participants performed a temporal bisection task with stimulus durations presented in the form of neutral or emotional facial expressions (angry, sad, and happy faces). In the first experiment, dog owners were compared with nondog owners, while in the second experiment, students were randomly assigned to one of the three waiting groups (waiting alone, with another person, or with a dog) before being confronted with the temporal bisection task. The results showed that dogs allowed the participants to regulate the intensity of negative emotional effects, while no statistical differences emerged for the happy facial expressions. In certain circumstances, dogs could even lead the subjects to generate underestimation of time when faced with negative facial expressions.
本文探讨了狗如何调节情绪对时间感知的影响。为此，参与者进行了时间二分任务，刺激持续时间以中性或情绪面部表情（愤怒、悲伤和快乐面孔）的形式呈现。在第一个实验中，将狗主人与非狗主人进行了比较，而在第二个实验中，学生在面对时间二分任务之前被随机分配到三个等待组之一（单独等待、与他人一起等待或与狗一起等待）。结果表明，狗可以让参与者调节负面情绪影响的强度，而对于快乐面部表情则没有出现统计学差异。在某些情况下，狗甚至可以引导受试者在面对负面面部表情时低估时间。
