Your body language shapes who you are. Speaker: Amy Cuddy
Body language is a means of non-verbal communication. Psychologists can read people examining their body response to environment. Amy Cuddy gave an example of body language judgment inference; she said by judging political candidates’ faces experts can predict 70 per cent of US senator or gubernatorial race outcome within a second. Moreover, the speaker indicated that success of online negotiations also depends on people’s emotions. She also compared non-verbal dominance and power with weakness, which can affect our life significantly.
There is a substantial difference in grades in MBA classes by gender difference, despite the fact that equal number of male and female students is accepted, according to the speaker. However, before presenting the reason why there is the disproportion in grades, Amy Cuddy described how people behave when they feel powerful or weak; when a person wins a competition, for instance, he or she raises his or her arms to the either sides like the letter V, whereas when an individual feels powerless one closes up. Thus, when we feel powerful, we make ourselves bigger making our shoulders broad and holding our hands on either side of waists; in contrast, when we feel powerless, we try hiding ourselves by looking smaller, according to the speaker. With regard to MBA classes, male students achieve significantly higher grades than their female counterparts. This happens as men raise hands higher aloft being dominant while women do the opposite raising only to the shoulder level, as a result male students catch more attention of a teacher.
Nevertheless, people can alter this fact since body changes mind, according to Amy Cuddy. She explained it as non-verbal influence. According to her, if a person poses powerful posture for 2 minutes, there will be chemical changes in the individual’s mind; particularly the level of testosterone will increase, while the level of cortisol (the stress hormone) will decrease. If an individual takes the opposite, powerless, pose it will be vise versa. Also, the speaker asserted that a person who has tried the pose of powerful tends to become more decisive.
