A polar bear plunge (or swim) is an event held (usually during the winter) where participants enter a body of very cold water.

Calculate the rate of heat conduction out of a 56.0 kg man whose surface area is 1.57 m2. The water (and therefore his skin) is at a temperature of 1.26 °C and his internal temperature is 37.2 °C. The thickness of his tissues separating these temperature regions is 1.26 cm.

Kleider and colleagues (2012) found that in strong cases, participants’ working memory capacity interacted with their prejudice level to predict their verdicts. Among participants with low WMC, those who are highly prejudiced were significantly harsher on the Black defendant compared to those who were low in prejudice. What this effect hypothesized by the researchers?
