    Extraverts and introverts showed similar time perceptions, judging intervals as shorter when engaged with interesting reading material. Personality did not significantly impact time estimation in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Personality Psychology

    Background:

    • Time perception is influenced by cognitive and emotional factors.
    • Extraversion and introversion are key personality traits that may affect cognitive processes.
    • Previous research suggests potential differences in how personality traits interact with task engagement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether extraversion and introversion influence time perception.
    • To examine the interaction between personality type and task interest on time estimation.
    • To test the hypothesis that personality differences in time perception emerge with dissimilar task interest.

    Main Methods:

    • 32 extraverted and 32 introverted college students participated.
    • Participants rated the interest level of reading materials.

  • Participants estimated the duration of 3-minute intervals filled with either dull or interesting readings.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in time perception were found between extraverts and introverts.
    • Few differences in interest ratings were observed between the two personality groups.
    • Both extraverts and introverts perceived time intervals as shorter when the reading material was interesting.

    Conclusions:

    • Task interest, rather than personality type (extraversion/introversion), appears to be a primary determinant of time perception in this context.
    • Engaging content leads to a subjective shortening of perceived time for both extraverted and introverted individuals.
    • The hypothesized differential effect of personality on time perception under varying interest levels was not supported.
