Wiki Version:
1. We suspect that lower outside temperatures will incline people to rate their own house as more communal and more attractive, but we expect this to be an interaction effect with how long people live in their house. Specifically, we think that this temperature effect should emerge at 1SD below M for length of house ownership, but not for 1SD above M (we suspect 1 SD below M, but we will also explore 2 SD below M). In addition, because of our Study 1, we will explore the same analysis excluding temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius. 2. We again expect NFA to mediate the relationship sketched in Hypothesis 1. 3. We will also explore whether participants think their house is worth more if temperatures are lower. 4. Finally, we will measure perceived ambient temperature as a gage for momentary resources. We expect that people living longer in their house will estimate temperature as higher, and that this relationship will be mediated by perceived communality of the house. Furthermore, if we find the mediation onto perceived temperature in Study 1, we expect a comparable mediation in Study 2. However, because of the possible amount of noise in this study, the effect size onto this variable may be too small to detect (see e.g., IJzerman, Janssen, & Coan, 2014). If this is the case, we will run another (high-powered) replication on Amazon MTurk.
