>Chris Chris- well, that brings up an intriguing idea. Does it work with a warm room or is it a "hands" warmth that makes the effect. Remember that the study had them holding a warm vs cold coffee mug. I sense an experiment forming. I also wonder about the well known connection between food and higher ratings. Would a warm mug alone work or is it the "food" connection with coffee? (Actually, I think my experience with "warm rooms" is similar to yours- our classrooms tend to be warm during warm months and cold during the cold ones- with some notable exceptions- one of my classrooms this term was ALWAYS 80 or so- regardless of the temperature outside.)
