What is the concept of “Power Posture”….do you agree or disagree with some of the findings from Amy Cuddy? In a published paper from 2010, Cuddy and her collaborators Dana Carney and Andy Yap report that power posing can change your life and your hormone levels. They report that the “results of this study confirmed our prediction that posing in high-power nonverbal displays (as opposed to low-power nonverbal displays) would cause neuroendocrine and behavioral changes for both male and female participants. I don’t agree with the findings from Amy Cuddy because everything depends on your thinking. If you think that low power poses helps you to decrease your stress level, it will work for you because you think in a positive way.
What are non verbal communications? Provide 2 examples. Non-verbal communication includes facial expressions, the tone and pitch of the voice, gestures displayed through body language and the physical distance between the communicators. For example: face expressions and gestures.
How do you see your own posture? Most of the time my arms are folded but I don’t agree with the findings of Amy Cuddy. So, I don’t think that a person with the folded arms should be considered as a close minded.
How can you improve your own “power posture”? I don’t think I need to improve my own “power posture” because I think I always have a enough confidence even if I am standing with the lower power pose and most importantly I’m always stress free.
