The goal of the present study was to evaluate the psychophysiological aspects of anxiety, especially attention and the perception of the passage of time. The IDATE psychometric scale was used in 180 students of the Physical Education course at the Universidade de São Paulo in the classroom. 15 more anxious and 15 less anxious volunteers were selected. The IDATE - trace was used due to the fact that it presents the more constant characteristics of anxiety. Experiment l was the task of Spontaneous Time, where participants were asked to hit button A of the joystick with their finger in the most regular and accurate way possible for one minute. In experiment 2 participants were asked to respond, as quickly as possible, to the stimulus (white dot 0,4 degree) with a luminescence of 80 cd/m against a grey background by pressing the A button of the joystick with any finger of the dominant hand (SRT). The stimuli were presented randomly at 82 different positions of the computer screen. After data processing and statistical analysis, the general and exploratory study presented here do show trends, but not meaningful correlations between the measurements. Some data, however, seem to stand out and should be considered in the planning of future experiments.
