Description:
Why is it that on some occasions time seems to ‘fly by’ and other occasions it seems so slow? Why are we more likely to decide formulate new goals, like exercising, dieting, when they are in the distant future? What influences our thinking about time – i.e., our goals, our motivation, and our feelings of self-control?

Duties:
Research assistants will generate research ideas, help with study design and preparation, interact with research participants and collect data, as well as assist in data coding and analysis.
