Citat:
Cuddy developed the idea for power posing in 2009, after hearing former FBI agent Joe Navarro describe how police investigators would sometimes make themselves feel imposing by using a bigger chair during interrogations. She decided to test the science behind it.
A paper she wrote in 2010 with researchers Dana R. Carney and Andy J. Yap found that lab participants who spent two minutes in a room alone doing high-power poses (feet on the desk with fingers laced behind the head, let’s say) increased testosterone levels by about 20 percent and lowered the stress hormone cortisol by about 25 percent.
Numerous well-documented follow-up studies by other prominent scholars showed significant effects on behavior outcomes. In one, students assigned to adopt upright, open postures were more likely to pick seats at the front of a classroom and saw themselves as better leaders than their slouched counterparts. In another, baseball pitchers who displayed more submissive postures were perceived by competitors to be less competent.
Preliminary findings in a new study by Cuddy and Maarten Bos show that stretching out comfortably in a desk chair at a large monitor causes subjects to act far more assertively than those hunched over tablets and smartphones.
