Facets of the subjective duration of imagined situations

Description

The DurationRaw dataset contains the duration rating of 76 subjects on 24 situations. Subjects were asked to rate the duration on a 7 point scale (1 ... substantially shorter, 7 ... substantially longer). The Duration data file contains the corresponding correlations between the 24 situations including some information about the facets.

Usage

data(Duration)
data(DurationRaw)
