Abstract
ABSTRACTPrevious research has suggested that individuals hold cognitive associations between the constructs of hot temperatures and aggression. However, subsequent close replication attempts have cast doubt on the replicability of these effects. Therefore, the evidence for the existence of a cognitive heat–aggression association is mixed. A pilot study used a modified Affect Misattribution Procedure to examine whether exposure to heat-related words increased the accessibility of aggressive cognitions. The results of the pilot study showed that exposure to heat-related words increased the accessibility of aggressive cognitions relative to “comparison” trials (i.e. non-heat-related words and nonsense letter strings). I propose a direct replication of this pilot study, which will further test the existence of a heat–aggression association.
