The study explores how people's perception of time was distorted during England's second COVID-19 lockdown, building on previous research that focused on early lockdown experiences.
The findings show that over 80% of individuals experienced altered time perception during the second lockdown, with depression, dissatisfaction with social interactions, and shielding status being key factors influencing how slow or fast time felt.
These results indicate that distortions in the passage of time are persistent during prolonged lockdowns, and various psychological and social factors impact how people perceive time at different stages of the pandemic.]
