Modernizing Relationship Therapy through Social Thermoregulation Theory: Evidence, Hypotheses, and Explorations [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 In the present article the authors propose to modernize relationship therapy by integrating novel sensor and actuator technologies that can help optimize people’s thermoregulation, especially as they pertain to social contexts. Specifically, they propose

A Theory of Social Thermoregulation in Human Primates [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Beyond breathing, the regulation of body temperature—thermoregulation—is one of the most pressing concerns for many animals. A dysregulated body temperature has dire consequences for survival and development.

Talking About Temperature and Social Thermoregulation in the Languages of the World
International Review of Social Psychology, 2021 The last decade saw rapid growth of the body of work devoted to relations between social thermoregulation and various other domains, with a particular focus on the connection between prosociality and physical warmth.

Development and Validation of the Social Thermoregulation and Risk Avoidance Questionnaire (STRAQ-1) [PDF]
International Review of Social Psychology, 2019 Attachment theory was built around the idea that infants rely on others to survive, and it is often forgotten that survival hinged on coping with environmental demands.

Validation of the ISP131001 Sensor for Mobile Peripheral Body Temperature Measurement [PDF]
International Review of Social Psychology, 2021 Previous studies have indicated that temperature regulation is related to social behavior (for an overview, see IJzerman et al., 2015; IJzerman & Hogerzeil, 2017). However, precise causal relationships between temperature and social behaviors are unclear.

Social huddling and physiological thermoregulation are related to melanism in the nocturnal barn owl. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2015 Endothermic animals vary in their physiological ability to maintain a constant body temperature. Since melanin-based coloration is related to thermoregulation and energy homeostasis, we predict that dark and pale melanic individuals adopt different ...

Social thermoregulation and torpor in the Siberian hamster [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011 SUMMARY Social thermoregulation and huddling bring about energy benefits to animals sharing a nest because of the smaller surface-to-volume ratio of a huddle and the higher local temperature in the nest.
