I should mention Amy Cuddy is an awesome researcher, and this video is not meant to shame her in any way. She doesn't just do power posing research, she does a bunch of other great psychology too, some of which I have cited on this channel in the past. Power Posing is just what she is best known for because of that TED talk, and well, she should probably let it go.
The IKEA effect is likely in play here. When you labor over something you love it more. She labored over Power Posing AND did that viral TED talk, which means Power Posing is likely part of her identity now. The IKEA effect plus identity makes letting go of old ideas very difficult. As a scientist, we should try to distance our identity from our findings, so that we can review them more objectively and be open to rethinking our positions. It's easier said than done though.

Thanks for an amazing first year on YouTube! I love making these videos for you guys. Because so many of you watch me, I have been presented with so many fantastic opportunities over the last year which would have never happened without your support. As a result, I am so SO grateful for each and every one of you, truly. Let's see what our second year brings us!
