Time perception correlated to anger

I was cruising Boing Boing today, and found a neat little bit of psychology.

Suppose you are supposed to attend a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, but it was moved forward two days.

What day is the meeting on?

"If you think it's now changed to Friday, then you're someone who thinks of themselves as moving through time, whilst if you think the meeting is now on Monday, then you're more passive, and you think about time passing you by."

A clever trick indeed. It also tells you something about yourself-- how peeved you are feeling. Apparently.

It also works the other way around: if you think of yourself moving through time, you will become angrier. INTERESTING STUFF. Reminds me of that trick where if you make an expression that is related to an emotion, you will begin to feel that emotion. Our neural hardwiring is really a botched job, with all of these nonsinsical feedback loops. Damn you, Divine Watchmaker! Should have taken a few more classes.
