Why can something as simple as a warm cup of coffee change the way we see another person? In this episode of Circuit Breaker: Rewiring Your Decisions, we explore the Hot Coffee study - research showing how physical sensations can subconsciously influence our social judgements.

Discover how something as subtle as temperature can shape our perceptions without as realising it, and how our physical experiences are not at all unrelated to our social ones.
