Point of subjective equality (PSE) as a function of facial expression of emotion when politicians' faces are presented from the left (liberal) or from the right (conservative). Upper panel: Participants with preference for the right (conservative); Lower panel: Participants with preference for the left (liberal).

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...

... Appendix B, two tables report the individual PSE value for each of the six experimental conditions: Table B1 reports the data of conservative participants and Table B2 the data of liberal participants. Figure 2 shows the mean PSE in each experimental condition. Overall, the data show that the PSE is lower for conservative participants (M = 885 ms) than for liberal participants (M = 920 ms), and the PSE of conservative participants is higher when time is delimited by a photo of liberal politicians (M = 901 ms) than by a photo of conservative politicians (M = 869 ms). ...

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.
