the results of this study were utilized to examine whether there was a positive
linear relation between the OTSS and the RTS. Pearson r correlations were utilized to
determine the reliability and validity of the OTSS. Examining the relation between the
two physiological variables of core temperature and heart rate with the two thermal
scales, the OTSS and RTS, will allow researchers to see whether core temperature and
heart rate values correspond with perceptions according to the OTSS.
