It has been proposed that time perspective is an important variable that can, in part, explain the differences between people in terms of the development of self-control. One corollary of this position is that time perspective is somehow related to systematic biases in the way people perceive the passage of time. Such a bias may or may not be augmented by an association between time perspective and impulsivity. Two studies were conducted using measures of temporal extension, time estimation, and impulsivity. In general, no consistent effects were found. Neither time perspective nor impulsivity was related to any characteristic pattern of errors. In the second study, time perspective (mediated by age) was associated with predicting very brief time estimation scores, but not longer time estimation periods. It was concluded that whatever the mechanism might be that underlies the purported effect between time perspective and self-control, it is not related to a differential ability to perceive time moving more or less quickly.
有人提出，时间观念是一个重要变量，它在一定程度上可以解释人们在自我控制发展方面的差异。这一观点的一个推论是，时间观念在某种程度上与人们感知时间流逝方式的系统性偏差有关。这种偏差可能会因时间观念与冲动性之间的关联而增强，也可能不会。两项研究使用了时间延展、时间估计和冲动性的测量方法。总体而言，未发现一致的效应。时间观念和冲动性均与任何特征性的错误模式无关。在第二项研究中，时间观念（由年龄介导）与预测非常短暂的时间估计分数相关，但与较长时间的估计无关。得出的结论是，无论时间观念与自我控制之间所谓效应的潜在机制是什么，它都与感知时间流逝快慢的差异能力无关。
