Time to Possess, Time to Progress: the Impact of Temporal Ownership on Time Perception

Time is often linguistically portrayed either in a narrative or possessive framing. Building on this tendency, the authors demonstrate that communicating time in possession framing increases perceived ownership and feelings of responsibility towards making use of time. The heightened responsibility leads consumers to minimize time loss, but maximize time investment.
