Power Poses Affect Risk Tolerance and Skin Conductance Levels
TLDR
The results show that assuming high-power poses favors risk tolerant behaviors and rises feelings of powerfulness, but this is not true in the case of low-power postures, which engender a sense of stress, sustained by a significant increase of skin conductance levels.
