Abstract
Time judgments were examined using Verbal Estimate and Reproduction measures to determine whether the qualitative nature of an arousal state (success vs failure) or arousal per se (task vs control condition) influence estimates. Motivational orientation in the form of Intrinsic vs Extrinsic task satisfaction was also varied. Only the differences between measures and between task and control Reproductions were significant. Results offered no support for either general or qualitative arousal hypotheses, but attentional or “filled-unfilled interval” hypotheses could account for the findings. A measurement dilemma inherent in present time research methods was discussed.Keywords
