Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee．And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea．The physical sensation(感覺) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson drawn from recent research by psychologist John Bargh．

    Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知) of another’s “warmth”  powerfully determines social relationships．Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping(捏造) evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable．Much of this is rooted in early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual(概念的) sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness．Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle．Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills．

    Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal．Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries．

    To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students．A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假設(shè)) handed the students either a hot cup of coffee or a cold drink to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back．After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description．Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink．

    “We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly(抽象地),” says Bargh．

Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of  36   other people’s cars as well．It was pretty   37   outside and I had no plans to   38   being in the bright sun．She   39   wanted to give lemonade（檸檬汽水）to passerby for free．I had seen little kids 40  and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt   41  , I decided to help her.

  42   she asked me, “What if we   43   this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and   44   her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with   45   ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)  46    with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the   47   of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   48    to do something for others.

All that seemed   49   and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to   50   to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   51  others and do something nice in the community!

I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   52   to help clean cars．Passersby were   53   and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming   54   !
