%0 PDF %T Power Posing and Choking Under Pressure: The Effects Power Posing Can Have on Performance in High Pressure Mathematical Tasks %A Kallitsantsi, Christina %8 2015-05-14 %I Tufts Archival Research Center %R http://localhost/files/6395wk265 %X Research has suggested that high pressure situations lead to a decrease in performance in both academic and sport-related settings. Different theories have been used to describe the processes that result in the suffering of the individual’s performance. The stress of the situation results in an alteration of the cognitive process that consequently leads to a worsening of the performance. There have been studies looking at how power posing can help relieve stress from high pressure situation and thus improve performance. This study focuses on how power posing can affect performance on high pressure math tasks and whether power posing mitigates the effects of choking. Even though the results of this study were not significant, they suggest a positive relation between high power poses and performance. These statistically insignificant results can be a stepping stone for future research, which can help shed more light on how to reduce the negative effects that pressure often has on performance. %G eng %[ 2022-10-07 %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
