Perception of Time: How participants perceive the passage
of time was assessed by seven items (Staudinger, Freund,
Linden, & Maas, 1996): three measuring the
subjective speed of time; three measuring the subjective
amount of time. For each of these items there was an extra
three-point scale which fit the question.
The seventh item asked participants to rank order their
preferred focus on the past, present or future (see also:
Future orientation). At the 5th measurement point only items 1, 3 and
6 were included in the assessment.
Literature: Smith & Baltes, 1996,
1999; Smith, Fleeson, Geiselmann, Settersen, & Kunzmann, 1996,
1999; Staudinger, Freund, Linden, & Maas, 1996, 1999.

Items used in BASE
Note:
According to the design, variable names for Time 1 have the
prefix p1, names for Time 3 have the prefix p3,
names for Time 4 have the prefix p4, names for Time 5 have the prefix
p5, and names for Time 6 have the prefix p6.
