Weird Ways Temperature Affects Your Decision-Making

Your body is made up of living cells that are affected by temperature changes.  Friday was the first day of spring here in Acadiana and Mother Nature took us from coats to shorts almost overnight.  Temperature changes will affect many things about you, even your decision-making.

1.  When it's warm out, women are less likely to wear red but only when ovulating.  Experts think it may be a subconscious reflex to attract men.

2.  You will judge people differently.  Last year, a study was performed on both men and women where they had to look at mugshots.  They were asked to try to decide whether the crime of the person in the photo was premeditated or not.  People were much more likely to choose 'premeditated' if they were sitting in a cold room.

3.  The temperature of a room will determine what type of movie you watch.  In 2012 people were invited to sit in either a cold room or a warm room.  When the room was cold, more people chose romantic comedy.
