The Embodied Psychology of Time Limits: How Unrelated Motion States Shape Intentions to Act By a Deadline

Across four experiments, we found that participants who imagined or actually enacted movements (e.g. walking/running) indicated a stronger intention to act (e.g. attend a sale or receive a vaccine) by a well-defined deadline than did people in static positions (e.g. standing). As expected, perceived ability mediated the combined effects.
