Is there anybody who doesn't remember from his childhood the mother's advices to keep the back straight, otherwise you will remain coconut? Well, if you've followed this advice and have improved posture, then you do not only look better, but also have increased the self-esteem.
According to an experiment, conducted at the Ohio State University from United States of America, self-image affects our posture and when we sit straight we feel better about ourselves. This gives us more confidence and helps us to have more success in life.
Individuals who participated in this experiment were asked to sit on a chair in front of the office keeping the back they wish, straight or bent backwards. After several hours, the participants were asked to list three characteristics that would associate them with their career. And finally, they completed a questionnaire on the self-evaluation about the professional future.
