Abstract in brief

Anxiety tends to make people perceive time as passing faster, leading to underestimation of duration, especially during anxious states.
Fear and anxiety are different emotional responses; fear is transient and related to immediate threats, while anxiety is diffuse and linked to unpredictable threats, affecting time perception differently.
The study found that experimentally induced anxiety causes underestimation of time, while previous research suggesting fear leads to overestimation was not replicated, indicating distinct effects of these emotions on temporal perception.]
