Advances in Social Thermoregulation Research: Doubts, New Directions, and Innovations

Friday, May 25, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Social

Research showing a relationship between social and physical warmth has led to both excitement and debate. This symposium discusses the state of this literature. Talks provide multiple perspectives, including a meta-analysis, evidence from a questionnaire designed to assess social thermoregulation, experience sampling data, and intergroup bias and temperature assessment.
