“…For example, Beyens et al (2020) examined self-reported mobile social media use and affective well-being, finding that 46% of participants displayed a positive relationship and 10% exhibited a negative relationship. Thus, the high degree of homogeneity of the current findings is noteworthy and important to unpack in future research, especially considering how time perception is presumed to vary from individual to individual (Hammond, 2012;Wittmann, 2016). Mobile communication researchand quantitative social scientific research more broadly typically focuses on the strength of bivariate relationships averaged across individuals, taking a between-person rather than a within-person perspective.…”

Prior theoretical perspectives assert that mobile media and communication accelerate time perception. To test this hypothesis, we coupled mobile app logs and experience sampling to capture social app use and time perception in daily life. Participants ( N = 132) provided self-reports of time perception ( n = 9,081) and recordings of social app use ( n = 2,193,655). Although people perceived time as relatively fast on average, results did not support an overall link between social app use and accelerated time perception. Conversely, social media use—but not messaging use—was associated with decelerated time perception. In addition, observed relationships between social app use and time perception were consistent across individuals. We conclude by considering how future mobile communication research will be challenged to measure and model how temporal flows are interwoven with mobile connection in the background of daily life.

“…In this regard, this study highlights the significance of time fluidity, especially the dysregulated perception of past and future, in understanding the intricate interplay between time perception and depersonalisation. Building upon the idea of time as a 'common currency' in psychopathology research (Northoff et al 2019;Wittmann, 2016Wittmann, /2018, our methodology combines time perception inventories with depersonalisation scales and leverages graph theory to explore dynamic associations at both the item and cluster levels. Our findings align with studies on mood disorders that often highlight a negative past oriented thinking, such as ruminative thinking, anxiety, and depression (Ciaunica et al, 2021;Seth & Tsakiris, 2018).…”

Time is fundamental to human cognition, deeply intertwined with bodily awareness, motion, and sense of self. When a sense of time is disrupted it can undermine bodily regulation. A disrupted sense of time is commonly reported by those with depersonalisation (DP) in the clinic, however it is unclear whether time perception is normatively linked with human connection to the body. This study delves into the nuances of self-reported time perception manifested in non-clinical individuals on the depersonalisation (DP) continuum. Understanding the dynamic basis of time perception in depersonalisation may shed light on the role of sensory and interoceptive timing and integration in humans, opening the way for precise experimental hypotheses.. Method: The study sample consisted of 542 participants, with an average CDS score of 97.83 (SD= 63.16). Two network structures were constructed to examine item and subscale-level associations between Depersonalisation traits, Time Perspective and Time Distortions using the CDS-29 questionnaire (Sierra & Berrios, 2000), Reduced Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (Orosz et al., 2015), and two (slow and fast) time distortions questions.Results: DP continuum experience was strongly associated with sensory distortions to smell, touch and external perception of objects, as well as internal bodily sensations. Higher self reported DP experiences showed significant associations with past negative and present fatalism; contrasted by a reduced connection to future oriented time perspective. Slow-time sensations emerge, which are associated with frequency of symptomatic experiences rather than their intensity, and closely affiliated to abnormal inward bodily sensations.Conclusions: These findings diverge from prior studies that emphasised solely altered presentism in the context of CDS. We offer insight into the intricate dynamics between depersonalisation, time perspective and distortions, generating new hypotheses on the causal role of altered sensory timing and integration on DP experiences. The significance of sensory distortions in relation to time fluidity underlines the need for more holistic evaluations of psychopathological symptoms in DP .

“…Research on temporal cognition suggests that the "subjective present" lasts about 3 s, which would correspond to the elementary units of the flow of consciousness (Fairhall et al, 2014;Monfort et al, 2020;Montemayor & Wittmann, 2014;Pöppel, 1997). WM would then enable us to maintain several of these units of "now" in an active state to form more complex event representations (i.e., event models; Richmond & Zacks, 2017;Wittmann, 2016). According to some authors, this maintenance mechanism would have an upper temporal limit situated around 10-12 s (Jeneson & Squire, 2012;Wittmann, 2016).…”

As a result, temporal compression in memory could emerge when individuals are faced with continuous events lasting longer than 10-12 s.…”
