Abstract
During a period of 23 days, 51 students reported on their emotional reaction to an examination taking place at the end of the period; a variant of the method of magnitude estimation was used for this purpose. Scale values of elapsed time were also obtained. The results showed that emotional involvement increased as subjective time before the examination decreased. The process could be describd by a simple exponential function.Keywords
