Friday Philosophies: Enclothed Cognition: The Science in Dressing for Success

Join co-hosts Michelle and Wallis as they explore the concept of "Enclothed Cognition" and the fascinating study that introduced the term. This episode mixes the science with the practical, including: how our attire can influence our thoughts, emotions, and even outcomes in various situations, and what the experiments conducted in the study revealed about how clothing choices can influence behavior, mood, perception, and even cognitive abilities.

Plus, how our own style choices have impacted our experiences, including patterns Michelle noticed between what she was wearing and the outcome of investor meetings. Tune in to learn more about the ways what you wear can be a superpower in how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
