A study by the American Psychological Association identifies six attributes that characterize cool people: extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous. This study surveyed 6,000 participants across 12 countries, including the USA, Australia, and South Africa. Chris Black, a culturally recognizable figure, acknowledges these traits but suggests that the essence of being cool is elusive and not easily defined. Similarly, Philippa Snow compares the complexity of defining coolness to that of charisma, hinting at an intuitive understanding rather than a strict definition. The concept of cool originated from 1940s jazz culture.
According to a study published by the American Psychological Association, cool people generally possess six specific attributes: extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous.
Chris Black, co-host of the podcast How Long Gone, mentions that while the traits of coolness are relatively accurate, being perceived as cool is difficult to define.
