While Cuddy no longer stands by the original claim that power posing will result in hormonal changes, she does still maintain that “postural feedback” is an effective confidence-boosting technique. It’s been written a number of times since the backlash to the power pose that there is actual science behind it.Ĭuddy published a paper in 2018 in the Psychological Science Journal that shows extensive evidence that the power pose (now renamed “postural feedback”) is valid. Another group of people say that science and the studies aren’t valid, so the power pose is simply a fairy tail. So, one group of people says the power pose has science behind it to prove it’s true. Does the Power Pose Really Boost Your Confidence? Hence, these community members claimed, the “power pose” theory was not real. Some of the science community stated that the findings presented by Cuddy and her two associates did not pass the p-curve, and therefore the findings were not valid. It could be a sign that researchers manipulated their data or excluded certain data to make their point more relevant, or potentially that they even just gotten lucky. ![]() Much of the controversy also came into question due to a statistical technique referred to as the p-curve.īoiling it down to its simplest terms, the p-curve technique is the theory that if a majority of studies in a particular area just barely meet the criteria for statistical significance, then the research itself may not be legitimate and valid. This was the case in a number of studies after the rise in popularity of the power pose. There were a variety of factors for the backlash, but the biggest one seems to be the inability to replicate the same results as put forth by Amy Cuddy and her two associates. ⌄ Scroll down to continue reading article ⌄ ![]()
