The main objective of this study was to determine if the estimation of time could be used to reveal an implicit political bias. The study also aimed at determining if a political bias is related to a specific temporal perspective or to other personality factors. The main demonstration is based on a bisection temporal task where the participants wer...

... the faces of politicians from the USA and Canada either representing the conservative or the liberal side. Three photos of each politician were used, one for each of the three emotional conditions: joy, anger and neutral. Conservative politicians were Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, and liberal politicians were Amir Khadir and Jack Layton (see Fig. 1). This choice of politicians was made following a pilot study conducted in two steps during the scholar year 2014-2015, before Trump's term of office. First, 33 graduate students in Psychology completed an online questionnaire. The aim of this first questionnaire was to identify politicians that would be recognized by most ...

... Appendix A, Fig. A1 illustrates the psychometric function for each group of participants, with data from both politician's allegiances and all three emotion conditions grouped together. Overall, the figure shows that the PSE is higher for liberal participants than for conservative participants, and in both groups, the PSE is located at a value that is ...

Humans have the capability to make judgments about the relative duration of time intervals with accuracy (correct perceived duration) and precision (low variability). However, this capability has limitations, some of which are discussed in the present chapter. These limitations, either in terms of accuracy or precision, are obvious when there are changes in the physical characteristics of the stimuli used to mark the intervals to be judged. The characteristics are the structure (filled vs. empty) of the intervals and the sensory origin of the stimuli used to mark them. The variability of time estimates also depends on the use of single intervals by opposition to the use of sequences of intervals, and on the duration range under investigation. In addition to the effect caused by the physical characteristics of the stimuli, the perceived duration also relies on the way of presenting successive stimuli and on whether the intervals are marked by a single source or by different sources with distance (spatial effect) between them.
