The objectives of this study were to examine whether the temporal Doppler effect exists in different time intervals and certain individual environmental factors act as moderators effect. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we examined existence moderating future orientation among 139 university students (Study 1), then conditions using two independent samples 143 147 (Studies 2 3). Results indicated that existed all our studies, moderated Further, interval perception mediated relationship between motivation cope at long intervals. Finally, positive affect was found enhance effect, whereas control deprivation did not influence is by personality trait situational variable experimentally manipulated affect. We have identified processes could which be valuable cases where attention a task necessary.
