So when people adopt poses stereotypically associated with confidence, they felt more confident – at least for the duration of the test.

So if you sit with your arms folded, will you feel resentful? Or will that only work if you believe all the stuff about “defensive postures” and “body language”?

I’m going to sit and stare wistfully off into the distance, to make my soul more poetic. After that I’m going to stroke my chin thoughtfully, as a way to make myself have deep thoughts.

“This is my depressed stance. When you’re depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you’ll start to feel better. If you’re going to get any joy out of being depressed, you’ve got to stand like this”
~ Charlie Brown
