Lay Theories of Time
People have lay theories of time which guides their behaviors and feelings. We found that some people believe that busyness makes their lives more meaningful, busy people achieve more, and they shouldn't volunteer if they are busy. We also found that such theories have negative consequences for behaviors and feelings.
