The present study examined different mental strategies for effective and rapid regulation of skin temperature in adjacent areas. In the main study, subjects (N = 10) were asked to achieve mentally a maximal temperature difference between the right index and the right little fingers within 25 minutes. In a control group (N = 10), possible effects of a temperature-influencing device (cold and warm water bags on the left hand) on the right index and little fingers were examined. Because results were impressive, a series of similar studies was conducted. The results demonstrate the efficacy of mental strategies for a differential thermoregulation of adjacent skin areas (between 1 and 3 cm). Possible explanations and implications are discussed.
本研究考察了在相邻区域有效快速调节皮肤温度的不同心理策略。在主要研究中，要求受试者（N = 10）在25分钟内通过心理调节使右手食指和右手小指之间达到最大温差。在一个对照组（N = 10）中，研究了温度影响装置（左手使用冷水袋和温水袋）对右手食指和小指的可能影响。由于结果令人印象深刻，因此进行了一系列类似研究。结果证明了心理策略对相邻皮肤区域（1至3厘米之间）进行差异性温度调节的有效性。文中还讨论了可能的解释和影响。
