    Volition, performance of a boring task and time estimation.

    Perceptual and motor skillsยท1981
    See all related articles

    This study found that how long a task feels and how good it seems are linked, influencing how people judge their involvement. Time perception and task quality together shape attributions, not just time alone.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding how subjective experiences influence cognitive judgments is crucial.
    • Previous research explored dissonance reduction and temporal perception separately.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the interplay between subjective task duration, perceived task quality, and dissonance reduction.
    • To examine how volition (choice) impacts temporal judgments and attributions.

    Main Methods:

    • 48 subjects evaluated both boring and interesting audio tapes.
    • Manipulation of evaluation order and subject assignment to volition or no-volition groups.
    • Measurement of tape ratings, duration estimations, and attributions.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Altered temporal judgments did not independently reduce cognitive dissonance.
  • A significant relationship was found between subjective task duration and perceived task quality.
  • These factors influenced subjects' attributions regarding their task involvement.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subjective duration and perceived quality are interconnected in shaping task attributions.
    • Temporal perception alone is insufficient for dissonance reduction in this context.
    • The findings offer insights into the complex relationship between experience, judgment, and attribution.
