“…In several French samples, the internal consistencies of the subscales were similar to those of the original validation study (Sarda et al, 2021;Vidal et al, 2022;Wittman et al, 2022 3 ). Vergara et al (2019) also investigated the nomological network of the STRAQ-1 4 .…”

This Registered Report provides the first measurement invariance across time points and test-retest reliability of the Social Thermoregulation, Risk Avoidance Questionnaire (STRAQ-1, Vergara et al., 2019). The scale was developed and validated to understand the physiological drives underlying interpersonal bonding, measured by four constructs: the desire to socially regulate one’s temperature, the desire to solitary regulate one’s temperature, the sensitivity to higher temperatures, and the desire to avoid risk. Previous studies with large samples across 12 countries showed that the STRAQ-1 has a stable factorial structure, satisfying internal consistencies for the temperature subscales, and expected correlations in its nomological network. However, to date, this instrument has no test-retest reliability. Throughout four academic years (from 2018 to 2021), N = 184 French student participants took the STRAQ-1 at least two times. Out of the four STRAQ-1 subscales, X were longitudinally [non-invariant/invariant] across two-time points. The constructs and latent scores were thus [dissimilar/similar] and [incomparable/comparable] across time. [If measures were invariant: We then conducted test-retest reliability using Intra Class Correlation coefficient (ICC) for Social Thermoregulation, Solitary Thermoregulation, High-Temperature Sensitivity, and Risk Avoidance, only those will be included that are invariant]. ICCs were XX [excellent/good/moderate/poor], XX [excellent/good/moderate/poor], XX [excellent/good/moderate/poor], and XX [excellent/good/moderate/poor], respectively. [If measures turned out to be non-invariant: We did not find evidence of the stability of the STRAQ-1 across time]. [Despite/Possibly due to] the relatively long time between the repeated measure (minimum one year), we [found/did not find] acceptable test-retest reliability of the scale, and relative [in]stability of the STRAQ-1 across time.

“…During the measurement, we used an air-con ditioning unit to maintain room temperature at 19.5°C, 95% CI [19.3,19.7] (Brasil et al, 2020;Symonds et al, 2012), but also measured the temperature of the room via a BlueMaestro TempoDisc to measure any variations. Index finger temperature was meas ured using the ISP131001, a wireless temperature sensor that showed good validity and reliability in both warm and cold conditions (Sarda et al, 2021). Following the installation of the sensors, participants then went through the following steps:…”

The authors use infrared thermography measurements of skin temperature to non-invasively assess the heat production of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT). In species other than humans, BAT has been linked to maternal care, and may thus be crucial for understanding differences in attachment security. Whereas early BAT research measured its relative presence in the human body through radioactive tracers, researchers have recently used infrared thermography measurement of skin temperature in cold conditions to study BAT thermogenesis outside of medical facilities. Infrared thermography relies on comparing skin temperature in the supraclavicular region (where a BAT depot is located) with skin temperature in the sternal region (which contains no BAT depots) in cold conditions, when the supraclavicular BAT depot produces heat. We replicated an infrared thermography protocol, which previously reported an increase of 0.2 °C in supraclavicular (vs. sternal) skin temperature in cold (vs. control) conditions in only 7 adults, which probably led to overestimation of the effect. With a much larger sample size (N = 94 young adults) and a similar protocol, we did not find any significant variation in relative, Cohen’s d = 0.10, 95% CI [-0.31, 0.50], or absolute supraclavicular skin temperature, Cohen’s d = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.30, 0.52]. Using conditional random forests, we also excluded a variety of alternative explanations for why the method failed to achieve an effect. This protocol of infrared thermography cannot measure BAT thermogenesis and is thus not recommended for future studies to study individual differences in attachment.

“…from parent to infant) relate to attachment avoidance and feelings of loneliness when the child grows up, after which (2) temperature interventions can be tested to examine whether social thermoregulation desires can be manipulated in adulthood. Prospective studies can be conducted by, for instance, recording newborn infant cries [ 89 , 90 ], relating them to peripheral temperature of parents [ 91 ], after which attachment can be assessed between 9 and 18 months through the strange situation [ 92 ]. If such links can be established, temperature can be manipulated to simulate secure attachment through temperature actuators that are responsive to infant cries (e.g.…”

Individual differences in adapting to temperature in French students are only related to attachment avoidance and loneliness

Among animals, natural selection has resulted in a broad array of behavioural strategies to maintain core body temperature in a relatively narrow range. One important temperature regulation strategy is social thermoregulation , which is often done by warming the body together with conspecifics. The literature suggests that the same selection pressures that apply to other animals also apply to humans, producing individual differences in the tendency to socially thermoregulate. We wanted to investigate whether differences in social thermoregulation desires extend to other personality factors in a sample of French students. We conducted an exploratory, hypothesis-generating cross-sectional project to examine associations between thermoregulation and personality. We used conditional random forests in a training segment of our dataset to identify clusters of variables most likely to be shaped by individual differences to thermoregulate. We used the resulting clusters to fit hypothesis-generating mediation models. After we replicated the relationships in two datasets, personality was not related to social thermoregulation desires, with the exception of attachment avoidance. Attachment avoidance in turn predicted loneliness. This mediation proved robust across all three datasets. As our cross-sectional studies allow limited causal inferences, we suggest investing into prospective studies to understand whether and how social thermoregulation shapes attachment avoidance early in life and loneliness later in life. We also recommend replication of the current relationships in other climates, countries and age groups.
