Previous research has shown that subjective time changes under mortality salience (MS, i.e., awareness of one’s mortality). We wanted to reproduce the effect of time expansion during short time spans by means of a repeated measures design, using both time estimations and time reproductions. Participants were presented neutral stimuli for durations between 1s and 7.5s before and after being primed by MS or a control topic. Participants were then asked to reproduce and estimate each time span. People with medium and high self-esteem reproduce longer durations more accurately under MS than controls. These results show a reversal of Vierordt's law after priming with MS as a function of self-esteem. The chosen methods of prospective time reproduction and time estimation differ significantly. No effect was found for time estimation under MS. This finding adds to the growing evidence that thoughts about mortality exert a specific influence on cognitive functions.
