Time perception and related cognitive biases

The thesis aims to describe and explain phenomenon of time perception and variables influencing the proces. Many cognitive biases are related to time perception, influencing our judgemental and decision- making processes. The thesis consists of three main parts. First one explains time perception from phenomenological as well as neurological point of view. The aim is also to uncover individual aspects of time perception such as succession, duration, subjective passage of time and time perspectives. Second, broader part is dedicated to judgement and decision-making processes, cognitive biases and biases related specifically to time perception. I focus on phenomenons of intertemporal decision, temporal discounting, time saving bias, planning fallacy and sunk cost fallacy. The effort was to reveal variables entering the proces while offering practical approaches to eliminate impact of such biases. The third part proposes a research aiming to explain the influence of educational intervention on planning behavior and examines it's relation to time perspectives. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org
