Table 2 Correlation coefficients between the heat transfer, VAS scores, blood pressure, and pulse rate

From: Heat transfer, physiological responses, and subjective perceptions during short contact time with wood or other materials

	Warmth	Comfort	SBP			DBP			PR
	Warmth	Comfort	Mean	Max	Min	Mean	Max	Min	Mean	Max	Min
Heat transfer	− 0.69**	− 0.26**	0.13*	0.08	0.14*	0.12*	0.04	0.08	− 0.04	− 0.07	− 0.02
Warmth		0.27**	− 0.18**	− 0.10	− 0.21**	− 0.12*	− 0.08	− 0.14**	0.07	0.10	0.01
Comfort			− 0.14*	− 0.05	− 0.14*	− 0.07	− 0.02	− 0.13*	0.06	0.02	0.12*

N = 323–330, *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, PR: pulse rate, mean, max, and min: the mean, maximum, and minimum during the first 30 s of contact
