7 male and 7 female college students made estimations of 15-sec. intervals in conditions of dark, low and high ambient illumination. Analysis of variance showed significant effects of illumination and illumination by sex. Increased light levels shortened time estimation except for males under high light intensity. Results are discussed in terms of arousal theory and the relevance of these factors in research on time estimation.
7名男大学生和7名女大学生在黑暗、低环境光照和高环境光照条件下对15秒的时间间隔进行了估计。方差分析显示光照以及光照与性别的交互作用具有显著影响。除了在高光强度下的男性，光照水平增加会缩短时间估计。根据唤醒理论以及这些因素在时间估计研究中的相关性对结果进行了讨论。
