Embodied Cognition and Social Consumption: Self-Regulating Temperature Through Social Products and Behaviors
Individuals self-regulate lack of interpersonal warmth by substituting physical warmth. Four experiments suggest that physical/psychological temperature act as motivators to self-regulate in order to achieve a “steady state”, that the link between physical and perceived interpersonal temperature is bi-directional, and that consumption behaviors act as a source for self-regulation.
