How does an individual manage the time？ Started with principles from the mental account and budget of time, the study adopted a behavioral economics approach to explore the individual time allotted. Respondents were asked to fill the slots of both working and leisure schedules that were designed by virtual situation with the working or leisure plan. It was found that more minutes were allotted to work in a leisure schedule and vice versa. The attempt that balanced their individual work time and leisure time affected their allocation of the time. Thus the results indicated that mental account which was including working and leisure time existed indeed, and tried to balance the allocation of time between the two kinds of activities .%个体如何管理时间？以时间的心理账户和心理预算为切入点，采用行为经济学的研究取向考察个体的时间分配。设计两种虚拟情境（工作学习日程安排表、休闲日程安排表），要求被试对日程安排表中未安排的时间分配工作学习活动或休闲活动，结果发现，在工作学习日程表中，个体倾向于分配更多的时间去休闲，而在休闲日程表中，个体倾向于分配更多的时间去工作。个体有一种尝试平衡工作学习时间和休闲时间的心理倾向，这种倾向影响着他们对于时间的分配。结果表明,人们确实存在一个关于工作学习时间和休闲时间的心理账户，并且努力尝试平衡在这两类活动上的时间分配。
