“…Listening for a minute to a selection of more or less interesting prose passages has shown that the interesting passages are judged shorter than the others (Hawkins & Tedford 1976). A more original experiment was carried out by Thayer & Schiff (1975), who used a face-to-face eye contact situation between two Ss of the same or opposite sex.…”

“…For instance, Hawkins and Tedford (1976) had subjects listen to different prose passages recorded on tape. Subjects judged interesting tapes to be shorter in duration than non interesting ones, in agreement with the predictions of attentional models oftime perception.…”

Several studies have suggested that both affective valence and arousal affect the perception of time. However, in previous experiments, the two affective dimensions have not been systematically controlled. In this study, standardized photographic slides rated for emotional valence and arousal were projected to two groups of subjects for 2, 4, and 6 sec. One group of subjects estimated the projection duration on an analog scale, whereas the second group of subjects reproduced the intervals by pushing a button. Heart rate and skin conductance responses were also recorded during stimulus presentation as indices of attention and arousal. Time estimation results showed neither a main effect of valence nor a main effect of arousal. A highly significant valence X arousal interaction affected duration judgments. For low-arousal stimuli, the duration of negative slides was judged relatively shorter than the duration of positive slides. For high-arousal stimuli, the duration of negative slides was judged longer than the duration of positive slides. The same interaction pattern was observed across judgment modalities. These results are interpreted in terms of a model of action tendency, in which the level of arousal controls two different motivational mechanisms, one emotional and the other attentional.In everyday life, human beings are continually engaged in emotionally driven behaviors. Such behaviors are so highly pervasive that the recent psychological literature has pointed out the centrality ofemotional factors in cognitive processes such as learning a second language (Schumann, 1990(Schumann, , 1994. Damasio (1994) has recently documented a remarkable body of neuropsychological evidence supporting the assumption that emotions are involved in most, if not all, cognitive processes.Although an increasing number of studies have investigated the role of emotions in cognitive activity, only a limited number of studies have analyzed the relationship between emotional states and estimation of time durations. Furthermore, these studies have typically yielded inconclusive results regarding the precise nature of the relationship between emotions and time perception. These inconsistent findings may originate from the use of nonstandardized emotional manipulations that make the quantification and replication of the results rather problematic.A leading theoretical approach in the current literature involves the dimensional analysis of emotions. Dimensional theories of emotion differ from basic emotions theories (Argyle, 1975;Chance, 1980;Plutchik, 1962) in that they do not classify emotions on the basis ofthe presence or absence of independent and specific emotional states (e.g., fear, anger, or joy). Instead, they assume that emotions can be represented in a multidimensional space We wish to thank G. B. Vicario, P. 1. Lang, L. Stegagno, D. Palomba, P. Bressan, R. Mucha, and L.

Les hypothèses avancées actuellement sur l'intervention psychologique pour résoudre les troubles d'induction et de maintien du sommeil n'expliquent qu'en partie le phénomène de l'insomnie, tout particulièrement chez les personnes âgées. Dans cet article, nous analysons les modes de traitement de l'insomnie non basés sur la pharmacologie qui sont présentement offerts, et nous proposons une nouvelle manière de concevoir et de traiter les difficultés d'induction et de maintien du sommeil (DIMS). À base de facteurs cognitifs et estimatifs (traitement d'informations), le modèle est utilisé pour soumettre de nouvelles approches d'intervention. Vu la fréquence des interruptions de sommeil chez les gens âgés et les effets restreints de la pharmacothérapie et de la psychothérapie sur eux, les hypothèses énoncées par le modèle proposé et l'intervention projetée sont examinées en portant une attention toute particulière à la population âgée.Existing hypotheses regarding psychological mediation of disorders in initiating and maintaining sleep only partially explain the phenomenon of insomnia, particularly in aging individuals. In this article we review existing nonpharmacological treatments of insomnia and propose a new way of conceptualizing and treating disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep. The model, based on cognitive and information processing factors, is then used to propose novel approaches to intervention. Because of the prevalence of sleep disruptions in older adults and the limitations of existing pharmacological and psychological treatments with this population, the assumptions of the model and the proposed intervention are explored with particular reference to aging individuals
