Gender differences in time perception in relation with number and time interaction

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of gender differences in time perception in time perception in relation with number processing.
fifty-six volunteer undergraduate female and male students of the University of Tabriz participated in the study. Numbers 1¡2¡8¡9 were projected to all subjects in two duration of short time (300¡400¡500 millisecond) and long time (1000¡1100¡1200 ms) via a computerized time reproduction task. Subjects were asked to reproduce duration time of number. Three-factor ANOVA with repeated measures was used to analyze data.
Results revealed that the duration of short duration was overestimated, whereas the long durations were underestimated. Numbers affected time perception. The accuracy of time perception depended on the length of the duration and number. Reproduction of short duration was more inaccurate than long duration. In short duration, women had significantly accurate estimation in compare with men. Vice versa, men have exact estimate in long time in compare with women. But the differences between men and women were not salient like short duration.
