The intention to change behavior is related to changes in multiple physiological variables. Thermal comfort and thermal sensation are related to these physiological parameters. Furthermore, the intention of behavior is related to changes in thermal…
We hypothesize that more participants in the experimental condition, who are offered the computer-tailored feedback program, will quit smoking and that these participants will become more physically active compared to the participants in the control…
