Despite wide spread media coverage of an earlier study showing that “power poses” influence hormones and risk taking, a new study using a much larger sample finds no such relationships.

Associate Professor Anna Dreber Almenberg and Professor Magnus Johannesson at Stockholm School of Economics are two of the co-authors in the new study that was led by Dr Eva Ranehill of the Department of Economics at the University of Zürich.
