Other researchers tried to replicate this experiment with a larger group of participants and a double-blind setup. The experimenters found that power posing increased subjective feelings of power, but did not affect hormones or actual risk tolerance. They published their results in Psychological Science. Though Cuddy and others are continuing to carry out research into power posing, Carney has disavowed the original results. The theory is often cited as an example of the replication crisis in psychology, in which initially seductive theories cannot be replicated in follow-up experiments.
Practice
Our bodies change our minds
... and our minds change our behavior
... and our behavior change the outcomes.
=> We just need our bodies, privacy and two minutes to do the high power poses, and it will significantly change the outcomes of our life.
