The psychological basis for Halx's post is the theory that how we feel comes from bodily stimuli, not the other way around. Which is REALLY INTERESTING because people assume that we get sweaty and high-strung when we're scared, etc., when the truth might be that the physical reaction comes first, and we realize we're sweaty, and we instantly turn it into some emotion or other.
The study that stands out in my mind is the one where researchers got men and women to cross a high, rickety bridge in pairs, then used questionnaires to find out how attracted they were to each other.
