Abstract

Relations between time perception and Type A behaviour were investigated. Extreme Type A (n = 26) and B (n = 28) male college undergraduates rated the appropriateness of 158 adjectives as descriptors of time. Adjectives were independently rated using seven-point Likert 'speed' and 'energy' scales. Analyses showed that Type As rate adjectives low in speed and energy as less descriptive of time than Type Bs and vice versa.
