The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of two specific threatening emotions, anger and fear on time perception based on the emotional motivation dimension theory. By using different emotional pictures (faces in Experiment 1 and bodies in Experiment 2) and different time perception tasks (time comparison tasks in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, and time estimation tasks in Experiment 3), we found that compared with the neutral emotion, anger shortened the time perception while fear lengthened it. These results suggest that time perception becomes shorter under approach motivation and longer under withdrawal motivation.
