| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In last ten years or so, significant progress has been made in the study of embodied cognition, which examines the relationship between bodily states and psychological processes. The previous research, which examined the relationship between the experience of physical warmth/coldness and the cognitive processes, has revealed that physical warmth and perception of loneliness are linked. Based on previous research, this research examined whether the experience of physical warmth works as a clue to the smoothness of relationships with others and lead to overestimating mutual understanding between communication partners. Psychological experiments were conducted, and they revealed that the experience of physical warmth facilitates the degree to which we think we can understand the other person's intentions and personality.
