Experiencing awe may make us believe we have more time (Rudd, Vohs, & Aaker, 2012). Awe can be evoked byencountering a vast experience (Keltner & Haidt, 2003), for example an endless ocean or large mountains (Klatzky, Thompson,Stefanucci, Gill, & McGee, 2017). Vast environments may lead to distortions in perceived time that are reported after awe expe-riences. Participants reproduced the perceived duration of images of natural environments that varied in vastness and estimatedthe degree awe they would experience in those spaces. Results show that as actual duration increased, perceived duration of theimage decreased, whereas estimated awe increased. The perceived duration of highly vast images was underestimated less thanother images. Participants reported they would experience more awe in highly vast images compared to low and medium vastimages. These findings suggest that distortions of time associated with awe may be related to the vastness of the environment.

Joint actions require successful coordination between two or more individuals toward shared goals. Successful motorperformance can be influenced by agency and anxiety; however, these factors could also serve as regulation mechanismsthat enhance coordination in joint action tasks. The current experiment assessed the influence of anxiety and sense ofagency on the dynamics of action coordination between two people during a car-braking task. Both individuals wererequired to contribute toward the braking task to avoid crashing into a stop sign. Using an actor partner interdependencemodel (APIM), results suggested that individuals seated to the right decreased their contribution to braking after individualsseated on the left increased their braking, but the reciprocal relation was not present. Visual feedback appears to influenceaction coordination, however no differences in reported anxiety or agency were found. This leader-follower effect suggeststhat a driver-passenger dynamic might have emerged.

Previous literature has shown that spatial anxiety relates to navigation abilities (Hund & Gill, 2014). How spatial anxiety effects the spatial-temporal perception of one’s environment is not well known. The present student aimed to examine how spatial anxiety related to the memory of distances and time to landmarks in the surrounding area. Participants completed a battery of navigation questionnaires and reported how far (both in distance and time) different known landmarks in the surrounding area were. Data show a trend suggesting that females overestimated distances whereas males were more accurate in estimates to the five furthest landmarks. Spatial anxiety did not predict distance estimates; however, mobility within the surrounding area was marginally predictive of distance estimates for females. These findings suggest that spatial anxiety does not predict the remembered distances and time estimates to landmarks, but that mobility may be a more important predictive factor in remembered distances to landmarks
