颜色对时间知觉的影响

The Influence of Color on Time Perception

摘要: 本研究的目的是探讨颜色是否会影响个体的时间知觉。研究以颜色和时间为自变量采用3 (色块颜色：红、灰、蓝) × 7 (七种时距：400 ms、600 ms、800 ms、1000 ms、1200 ms、1400 ms、1600 ms)的被试内实验设计，运用时间二分法和时间泛化法探讨颜色对时间知觉的影响。实验一的结果得出颜色的主效应显著，红蓝两色呈边缘显著，表明颜色对时间知觉有一定的影响，且结果验证了前人得出的红色比蓝色更能激发积极情绪、更能引起个体注意的结论。实验二中时间的主效应显著，证明时间知觉存在长短时距的差异，但未得出颜色对时间知觉存在影响。

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore whether color can affect individuals’ perception of time through its metaphorical association with emotion. In this study, color and time were used as in-dependent variables and 3 (blocks of colors: red, gray, and blue) × 7 (seven-time intervals: 400 ms, 600 ms, 800 ms, 1000 ms, 1200 ms, 1400 ms, and 1600 ms) were used as the experimental design. The time dichotomy method and time generalization method were used to explore the influence of color on time perception. The results of experiment 1 show that the main effect of color is significant, and the red and blue colors are of marginal significance, indicating that color has a certain impact on time perception. The results verify the conclusion that red can stimulate positive emotions and attract the attention of individuals more than blue. In experiment 2, the main effect of time is significant, which proves that there is a difference in time perception between short- and long-time intervals, but no conclusion is drawn that color has an effect on time perception.
