Abstract

This study investigated the effect of varying room temperatures on moral reasoning, the tendency to cooperate, and judgments of driving behavior. The cold room led to more utilitarian decisions for moral dilemmas and cooperation scenarios. It was also observed that morality judgments were linked to more conservative driving decisions.
