From the authors: "The fact that women generally prefer higher indoor temperatures than men is well supported by survey evidence. This difference in preferences, sometimes referred to as the “battle of the thermostat,” is passionately discussed in popular culture and has received considerable media attention. Surprisingly then, the research examining the impact of temperature on cognitive performance has not explored a link between gender and temperature response."
