Just in time for office sweater season
There are new data to throw into the ongoing debate over office thermostats—but they likely won’t settle any arguments.
A new study, published in the journal PLOS One, only stokes the flames: It says women perform better on cognitive tasks in warmer environments, while men do better when it’s chillier. They found that women performed better on both math and verbal tasks as temperature increased, while the opposite was true for men. The effect wasn’t huge: for each one-degree-Celsius increase in temperature, women answered about 1.75% more math questions correctly and 1% more verbal questions correctly, while men answered about 0.6% fewer correctly in both categories.
