The Journal of general psychology·2016

Time metaphors can measure awareness of time, but the "Metaphors Slowness scale" was not homogeneous. An alternative interpretation suggests metaphors capture two time aspects: ongoing passage and past reflection, forming "dialectical time".

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • The Wittmann and Lehnhoff (2005) study questioned the homogeneity of the
  • Metaphors Slowness scale
  • for measuring time awareness.

Discussion:

  • Metaphors for time speed may represent two distinct aspects: the ongoing passage of time and ex post reflection on time already passed.
  • The former involves judging the present flow of time, while the latter concerns reflecting on past time from a historical vantage point.
  • This duality highlights the multifaceted and potentially ambiguous nature of time perception.

Key Insights:

  • The
  • Metaphors Slowness scale
  • may not be a single, unified measure of time awareness.

Outlook:

  • Time perception can be understood through the concept of
  • dialectical time
  • , integrating opposing elements like pleasant and unpleasant temporal experiences.
  • Further research could explore how these distinct temporal aspects influence subjective time experience and decision-making.
