Sorry Matt Gaetz. Benefits of 'power posing' have no basis in fact

http://www.kmaland.com/news/isu-researcher-finds-benefits-of-power-posing-have-no-basis/article_134e9ba0-ec26-11e9-81bb-4fc6a978a993.html

(Ames) -- An Iowa State University researcher says the idea that striking a “power pose” in the mirror can boost your confidence, abilities and testosterone levels is complete bunk.

“The most common example is standing like Wonder Woman, your hands on your hips, upright,” Crede says.

“Some people say before you go for a job interview or give that big presentation at work, go to the bathroom and power pose for a couple of minutes,” Crede says. “There’s nothing wrong with that and I don’t think it’s going to hurt you, but don’t think that you can substitute good preparation for an interview or a presentation with simply power posing for a minute or two.”
