The appearance of thermal effects is investigated in a simple system composed of quantum mechanical damped harmonic oscillator governed by su(1, 1)-algebra within a framework of the time-dependent variational approach in terms of mixed-mode coherent states. It is shown that certain fluctuations originated from the use of the mixed-mode coherent state can be interpreted as thermal fluctuations which appear in the form of the bose distribution function. Thus, our time-dependent variational approach with mixed-mode coherent states leads to a possible simultaneous description of classical motions and thermal fluctuations. It is also shown that the energy concentrated in a pure state at initial time dissipates to the other states after time-evolution. It is then remarked that the thermal effects play a significant role in the above process.
