MIND: Oh, baby, it's cold out there

This new study brought to mind two facts of life: the office is too cold and hot drinks soothe the soul. The new study shows that social isolation – or the ‘cold shoulder’ – actually makes you feel, well, cold and in need of some hot cocoa. The researchers asked people to guess the temperature of the room after thinking of socially isolating memory; they rated the temperature five degrees cooler than people who recalled a socially accepting memory.
