power posers in the university of truth

Enter the power pose, the proposition that standing up straight will give you the super powers to overcome adversity, except that no one can replicate the original experiment, the primary author has disavowed the publication, yet the primary advocate is making millions off the idea.

Re: power posers in the university of truth

That was a subtlety I left out. Gelman (statistician at Columbia) says that Power Pose probably isn't even wrong, that striking a confident pose probably does help, but does it make up for a lousy breakfast, or insomnia, or sick relatives, or abusive partners, or ...? There are so many factors that could influence how people feel that it's not going to be any low sample number quickie experiment that settles the issue. In fact, it may be one of those questions where errors in the measurements of the factors overwhelm the error in the measurement of the outcome.

So it's not false, it might well be true, but it has not been empirically demonstrated as was originally claimed, and empirical demonstration is problematic.

It's something a lot of people want to believe, is there a word for that? Believable and credible don't convey the desire involved.
