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.Keywords
