Abstract

Previous studies have suggested that time perception fluctuates throughout the day in relation to daily fluctuations of body temperature, and that there is a negative relationship between body temperature and time perception. The aim of this study was to examine, using behavioral and physiological methods, whether evening and morning types differ in their time perception at different times of day using different stimulus durations and whether there is a negative relationship between time perception, body temperature and social jet lag.

This study was conducted with 33 participants (17 morning types and 16 evening types) who performed a time production task in four experimental sessions, set on two consecutive days at two times of the day (08.30–10.00 h, 15.30–17.00 h) with four stimulus durations (1, 5, 10 and 15 s). The Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire-Turkish version (MCTQ-TR) were used to determine chronotype and social jet lag respectively.

The results showed that the produced time was shorter in the evening session than in the morning session. Four stimulus durations were underestimated, and the underestimation increased with stimulus duration. There was also a significant increase in body temperature from morning to evening, but there was no relationship between time perception and body temperature. These results did not support the hypothesis that there is a relationship between time perception and body temperature.

早上和晚上类型的体温和时间感知

以往的研究表明，时间感知在一天中的波动与每天的体温波动有关，体温与时间感知之间存在负相关关系。本研究的目的是通过行为学和生理学的方法，检验夜猫子和早起的人在一天中不同时间、不同刺激持续时间的时间感知是否存在差异，以及时间感知、体温和社交时差之间是否存在负相关关系。在连续两天的两个时间点（08.30-10.00 h、15.30-17.00 h）、四个刺激持续时间（1、5、10和15 s）， 33名参与者（17名早晨类型和16名晚上类型）进行了四个实验阶段的时间产生任务。采用早晚性问卷（MEQ）和慕尼黑时间型问卷-土耳其版（MCTQ-TR）分别测定时间型和社会时差。结果表明，夜间生产时间比早晨生产时间短。四种刺激持续时间均被低估，且低估程度随刺激持续时间的增加而增加。从早上到晚上，体温也明显升高，但时间感知与体温之间没有关系。这些结果不支持时间感知和体温之间存在关系的假设。

期刊介绍： Physiology & Behavior is aimed at the causal physiological mechanisms of behavior and its modulation by environmental factors. The journal invites original reports in the broad area of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, in which at least one variable is physiological and the primary emphasis and theoretical context are behavioral. The range of subjects includes behavioral neuroendocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, learning and memory, ingestion, social behavior, and studies related to the mechanisms of psychopathology. Contemporary reviews and theoretical articles are welcomed and the Editors invite such proposals from interested authors.
