To test Amy Cuddy’s theory, that body language affects your mental interpretation of yourself, I did a high-power stance before class. Before class I held the “wonder women” pose in my room for two minutes, as Cuddy suggested in her TED talk. Cuddy states that when feeling powerful “you make yourself big, you stretch out, you take up space”. So I did exactly that. During class I felt exactly the same as I did in all my other classes before I did the power-stance. I even participated the same amount. This experiment only confirmed what I already believed, that doing a power stance does not change ones confidence.
