Handwarming and relaxation in temperature feedback : positive placebo effects . Sixteen males and females were randomly assigned to either temperature feedback groups warm-relax ( WR ) or cool-relax ( CR ) to determine how successful hand-warming and -cooling alters the subjective report of relaxation . After eight 1/2-hour sessions the WR and CR demonstrated a significant difference in temperature change , but there were no significant main effects in reported subjective relaxation . The reported feelings of relaxation were negatively correlated to the directionality of temperature change and were primarily attributed to nonspecific expectancies .
