Simple effects analysis revealed that only from an egocentric (i.e., first-person) perspective did the temperature of the coffee cup impact ratings, such that perceptions of the target were colder when participants previously imagined holding an iced rather than hot beverage.No such effect emerged from an allocentric (i.e., third-person) perspective, F < 1. To establish the directionality of the effect observed in the egocentric condition, twelve additional participants (6 females) were given the personality questionnaire absent the imaginary warm/cold experience. This baseline condition enabled us to ascertain if it was the hot or cold (or both) mental simulation that was driving the effect. Interestingly, only ratings in the cold condition differed significantly from baseline.
