The ability to make one's own choices is vital to the experience of intentional behavior. Such agency experiences are reflected in the perceptual compression of time between actions and resulting outcomes. Whereas some studies show that choice limitations weaken temporal binding, other studies do not find such an effect. Reviewing the literature, we noted two potential factors that may moderate choice limitation effects on temporal binding: (a) the extent to which individuals represent their actions in terms of the consequences they produce; and (b) the response mode of the time interval estimation measurement where participants report numbers or use a slider to indicate time intervals. Testing these conceptual and methodological factors in two separate experiments yielded clear effects of choice limitation on temporal binding but no clear moderator role of the two factors. Interestingly, overall analyses showed that the choice limitation effect gradually vanishes over time.
做出自己选择的能力对于有意行为的体验至关重要。这种能动性体验体现在行动与结果之间时间的感知压缩上。虽然一些研究表明选择受限会削弱时间绑定，但其他研究并未发现这种效应。回顾文献时，我们注意到两个可能调节选择受限对时间绑定影响的潜在因素：(a)个体根据其产生的后果来表征其行动的程度；(b)时间间隔估计测量的反应模式，即参与者报告数字或使用滑块来指示时间间隔。在两个独立实验中测试这些概念和方法因素，结果显示选择受限对时间绑定有明显影响，但这两个因素没有明显的调节作用。有趣的是，总体分析表明，选择受限效应会随着时间逐渐消失。
