怀旧是对过去的一种感伤的渴望或渴望的情感，是一种主要的积极的社会情感。最近的证据表明，怀旧可以保持心理舒适。在这里，我们提出并在五项方法论不同的研究中记录了一种更广泛的怀旧稳态功能，其中也包括维持生理舒适度。我们表明，怀旧是一种具有强烈温暖内涵的情感，是由寒冷引发的。参与者报告说，在寒冷（与温暖）的日子以及在寒冷（与中性或温暖）的房间里的怀旧情绪更强烈。反过来，怀旧会调节温度的内感受。音乐引起的怀旧情绪越高，身体温暖程度越高，而回忆起怀旧事件（相对于普通自传）事件的参与者会感知到环境温度更高。最后，与温度和疼痛感觉的紧密中枢神经系统整合一致，回忆起怀旧事件（相对于普通自传体）事件的参与者表现出对有害寒冷的更大耐受性。
Nostalgia, a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, is a predominantly positive and social emotion. Recent evidence suggests that nostalgia maintains psychological comfort. Here, we propose, and document in five methodologically diverse studies, a broader homeostatic function for nostalgia that also encompasses the maintenance of physiological comfort. We show that nostalgia an emotion with a strong connotation of warmth is triggered by coldness. Participants reported stronger nostalgia on colder (vs. warmer) days and in a cold (vs. neutral or warm) room. Nostalgia, in turn, modulates the interoceptive feeling of temperature. Higher levels of music-evoked nostalgia predicted increased physical warmth, and participants who recalled a nostalgic (vs. ordinary autobiographical) event perceived ambient temperature as higher. Finally, and consistent with the close central nervous system integration of temperature and pain sensations, participants who recalled a nostalgic (vs. ordinary autobiographical) event evinced greater tolerance to noxious cold.
