Is Round-time Better To Tack Actions?The Effect Of Characteristics Of Integers On Task Execution In The Field Of Time

Time concepts is embodied by number signs,and the characteristics of integers is an important concept of digital expression.Accordingly,round time or non-round-time,as the characteristics of integers in the field of time,plays a significant role in daily life.In this work,we argues that the characteristics of integers affect the implementation of task execution.Specifically,when the task start in the round-time rather than in the non-round-time,individuals are more likely to take actions.On the contrary,when the task start in the non-round-time rather than in the round-time,individuals are less likely to take actions.the expected use value of task time plays an intermediary role in this process.Specifically,the whole hour has a higher saliency in individual time perception.According to the Gestalt theory,When the task start in the round-time,people have a more complete perception of the task time,And they well perceived higher time affluence and time value,people will believe that they have a higher chance to complete tasks in that time,that is people expect the use value of time to be Higher,and then they will have higer willingness to take action.however,the non-round-time was not significant in individual time perception.when the the start time is non-round-time,the task time will be percepted to be an incomplete duration.That time has lower values and time affluence,so the expected use value of time is low and the intention to start task will also be lower.In addition,this study also verifies the boundary conditions of the effect of round-time(vs.non-round-time)on task action.First,personal scheduling style plays an important regulatory role as a factor that affects individuals' reliance on time cues and event cues: when individuals are clock-timer,people are more likely to perceive external time cues as perceived time and then Form the basis of the task execution intention.so the round-time or non-round-time as the task start time will make individual produce different task execution intention.In another case,when the individual is in the event-time scheduling style,they will reliance more on the inner psychological cues,that is,individuals only start the next thing when the last thing is done.the start time as external time cues will no longer affect the individual's task execution.Second,the deterministic nature of the task duration affects the effect of characteristics of integers on the implementation of task execution.That is,in the presence of a fixed duration of the task,the task start time is no longer affect the individual's perceived subjective time,People are more likely to depend on the task duration that is more objective and definite,and the time perception is depend on task duration rather than the start time.Therefore,when the task duration is fixed,the integer features of the task starting time are no longer have an impact on the task action.Third,the time scarcity also plays a regulatory role of the effect of time integer on individual perception of time.Time Poverty is a time-scarcity state that people feel owned time is less than needed time.Under the condition of time poverty,the individual's time perception will always be in a time-scarce and high-value state.The integer features of the start time do not change the time-aware state,so there is no significant difference between the start time of the task and the start time of the task as a whole.Fourthly,the difficulty of the task is a factor that affects the individual's perception of the events in the plan.Changes in personal difficulty make the individual's focus from the completion of the task to task execution efficiency.thereby affecting the expected use value of the time and the willingness to perform the task.When the task is more difficult,the individual concerned about the completion of the task.when the round-time is the task start time,people will have a higher willingness to perform the task,rather than the non-round-time as the task start time,resulting in lower execution.However,when the task is easier,people are more concerned with the task can be completed efficiently.In this case,the non-round-time as the task start time can instead produce a higher task execution than the round-time.Fifth,the importance of the task is the influencing factor of the event perception in the scheduling.People are more interested in matching the value of time with the value of an event,ie,combining important tasks with high-value time,while less important tasks are associated with less-valuable time.Therefore,when the task is of high importance,the round-time is higher than thenon-round-time as the start time of the task,resulting in a higher individual execution.however,when the task is lower importance,the non-round-time as task start time can make individual have higher task implementation.
