Replication of “Experiencing physical warmth promotes interpersonal warmth” by Williams and Bargh (2008). (2014, background): “…other examples demonstrating links between temperature change and behavioral outcomes, although the general tendency has been to find links between increased aggression and higher temperatures (e.g., Anderson, 2001), rather than higher temperatures being associated with more prosocial behaviors.”
Climate change impacts and adaptation: A Canadian perspective (2004, background): “, Anderson, P.J., Fisher, A. and Bord, R.J. (2000): Stakeholder involvement in climate assessment: bridging the gap between scientific research and the public; Climate Research, v.”
Psychology and Global Climate Change: Addressing a Multi-faceted Phenomenon and Set of Challenges A Report by the American Psychological Association's Task Force on the Interface Between Psychology and Global Climate Change Members (2009, background): “These include heat related violence (Anderson, 2001), conflicts over resources (Reuveny, 2008), threats to mental health (Fritze, Blashki, Burke, & Wiseman, 2008) and anxiety and despair (Kidner, 2007; Macy & Brown, 1998; Nicholson, 2002).”
Police Officers on Drug Corners in Philadelphia, Drug Crime, and Violent Crime: Intended, Diffusion, and Displacement Impacts (2005, background): “Consistent with the literature on heat and violence (Anderson, 2001), we see that each additional degree was associated with about one additional violent crime per week.”
The psychological impacts of global climate change. (2011, background): “Longer and more severe heat waves associated with climate change (Meehl & Tebaldi, 2004) are also likely to be associated with increasing mortality, homicide, suicide, physical assault, and spousal abuse (Anderson, 2001; Basu & Samet, 2002; Qi, Tong, & Hu, 2009).”
Human aggression: A social-cognitive view (2003, background): “appear to be coldly calculated, some proactive aggression has a distinctly emotional aspect, and instrumental considerations of potential consequences can be made both automatically and without awareness (Anderson and Bushman, 2002a; Bushman and Anderson, 2001).”
Climate Change and Psychology: Effects of Rapid Global Warming on Violence and Aggression (2019, neutral): “Psychologists and sociologists have been studying the relation between heat (uncomfortably warm temperature) and aggression for some time now [2, 12, 13].”
The general aggression model: Theoretical extensions to violence. (2011, methodology): “Doing so allows the model to avoid the problems created by various artificial dichotomies of aggressive behavior types, such as the reactive–proactive dichotomy (Bushman & Anderson, 2001).”
The Impact of Climate Change on Mental Health: A Systematic Descriptive Review (2020, background): “The increase in heat-related violence are greater in hot summers and showed increased rates in hotter years (55).”
How might contact with nature promote human health? Promising mechanisms and a possible central pathway (2015, background): “Both sleep and social ties are major contributors to health (Table 2 in the Supplementary Materials); contact with nature contributes to both better sleep (Morita et al., 2011; Astell-Burt et al., 2013) and stronger social ties (see Table 2 in the Supplementary Materials for review).”
Dire forecast: A theoretical model of the impact of climate change on crime (2012, background): “Several studies have examined the effect of temperature on crime, particularly violence (for reviews and selected studies, see Anderson, 1989, 2001; Bushman et al., 2005; Cheatwood, 1995, 2009; Ikegaya and Suganami, 2008; Rotton and Cohn, 2003).”
