Climate and Behavior: A Biocultural Study

Relatively neglected in the growing number of human ecological studies is the consideration of direct environmental effects on the behavioral and psychological adaptations of individuals. This paper presents some tentative cross-cultural and cross-national evidence relating one environmental variable--climate--to both behavioral and psychocultural processes. Some support for the hypothesis that the amount of emotional expression or "level of arousal? co-varies predictably with climate and weather is offered, and alternative explanations and discussions of this hypothesis are explored.
