Studies involving the interaction between musical mode and tempo on time perception have been carried out through comparisons between a single major mode and a single minor mode, presented in different tempi. However, classifying the modes only into major and minor has not been considered sufficient. The purpose of this study was to verify the influence of the musical mode and tempo interaction on time perception analyzing the effect of different modes performed in the slow, moderate and fast tempi. Fifty undergraduate students of both sexes individually listened to 12 musical excerpts (4 modes – Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian and Aeolian – and 3 tempi – 72 bpm, 114 bpm, and 184 bpm), one excerpt at a time. After each excerpt, the participants performed a time-reproduction task, in which they had to press a button (beginning of the task), recal the duration of each excerpt and press a button again (end of the task). Results showed no interaction between mode and tempi and no differences between musical modes, regardless of tempo. However, regardless of the mode, excerpts in slow tempo was judged shorter than in moderate and fast tempi, respectively, and excerpts in moderate tempo was judged shorter than excerpts in fast tempo. These results can contribute to understanding the psychological processes of attention, memory and expectancy related to the perception of time in music listening situations.

通过比较以不同速度呈现的单一大调模式和单一小调模式，研究了音乐模式和节奏对时间感知的相互作用。然而，仅将模式分类为主要和次要模式尚未被认为是足够的。本研究的目的是验证音乐模式和节奏交互对时间感知的影响，分析不同模式在慢速、中速和快节奏中的效果。50 名男女本科生分别听了 12 首音乐节选（4 种调式——爱奥尼亚、米克利迪安、多里安和伊奥利亚——以及 3 种节奏——72 bpm、114 bpm 和 184 bpm），一次只听一段。每次摘录后，参与者执行时间再现任务，他们必须按下按钮（任务开始），回忆每个摘录的持续时间并再次按下按钮（任务结束）。结果显示，无论节奏如何，模式和速度之间没有相互作用，音乐模式之间也没有差异。然而，无论模式如何，慢节奏的片段被判断为比中速和快节奏的片段短，而中等速度的片段被判断为短于快节奏的片段。这些结果有助于理解与音乐聆听情境中的时间感知相关的注意力、记忆和期望的心理过程。分别，中等速度的片段被认为比快节奏的片段短。这些结果有助于理解与音乐聆听情境中的时间感知相关的注意力、记忆和期望的心理过程。分别，中等速度的片段被认为比快节奏的片段短。这些结果有助于理解与音乐聆听情境中的时间感知相关的注意力、记忆和期望的心理过程。
