Social Warmth Is a Term Referring to the Feeling of Being

Multiple Choice

Social warmth is a term referring to the feeling of being connected to others. A study published in PLoS One in 2016 looked at a potential relationship between physical warmth (body temperature) and social warmth among a group of 54 volunteers (Inagki et al.) . These volunteers had their oral temperature taken by a registered nurse and then assessed themselves using a scale of 1 to 5 on twelve items related to a feeling of social connection for which the average was recorded. Higher average scores indicated higher levels of social warmth. The theory was that the thermoregulatory system, which helps maintain a relatively warm internal body temperature, may also help people assess feelings of social connection. Below is a scatterplot and least-squares regression line of the data.
