Power Posing Experiment
By: Emma Jett
Explain the efforts of Dr. Cuddy and her research
Research Terminology used in speech
Body language/Non-verbal behavior: She uses this to explain part of her experiment since this a major part, and to say what she has researched with this.
Communication/Interaction: She uses this word to show the details of her experiment and how her participants demonstrated these things.
Valid: She uses this research term to explain the truth in her experiment.
Claim: This term is used to describe her hypothesis or claim she is trying to prove.
Outcome: Explain results of experiment.
Audience: Used to explain who she wanted to reach with this experiment, her targeted group.
Evidence: Used to show her research and facts from experiments.
Hormones: Used to explain part of her research and to display all those graphs from the result of the experiments.
These correlate with the research plans discussed in the crash course video, not exactly in terminology, but in the entire research process that goes along with experiments in psychology.
Big Idea
Experiments
Then for the other half of the experiment she did the same thing, but had the other participants do low power, slouchy poses. After doing these poses for 2 minutes she then tested their levels of those hormones, and found a decrease in confidence(testosterone) and an increase in the amount of cortisol, therefore resulting in more stress.
The correlation between these 2 levels of hormones is what really proves the question or claim, that says that the non verbal behaviors not only affect how others perceive us, but how we think of ourselves as well. Ultimately she proved that you really can fake your confidence until you make it.
