Abstract
Felix's (4) procedure was used to induce different levels of state-anxiety (A-State), and the A-State scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to measure actual degree of A-State arousal, in order to investigate the relationship between anxiety and time estimation. The present findings did not confirm Felix's assumption that Orienting Instructions would interact with Feedback Conditions to produce a specified continuum of arousal for his six experimental conditions. Felix's finding of a U-shaped relationship between conditions as he ordered them and time estimation was also not confirmed. No significant relationship was found between A-State and time estimates. The time estimation data suggested that perhaps time estimation is a function of individual constitutional or learning factors and is relatively insensitive to immediate environmental fluctuations.Keywords
