The Role of Valence, Arousal, Stimulus Type, and Temporal Paradigm in the Effect of Emotion on Time Perception: A Meta-Analysis
Research-assisted source review
- What it supports
- Emotion-related changes in judged duration were heterogeneous and moderated by arousal, valence, stimulus and temporal paradigm rather than following a simple positive-fast or negative-slow rule.
- Where it may not transfer
- Publication, task and stimulus heterogeneity remain, and standardised emotional stimuli differ from complex product experiences. Duration estimates do not directly measure satisfaction or harm.
