What you wear influences your behaviour and mood - psychology of enclothed cognition
Do You F*cking Mind?Show Notes
Enclothed Cognition:
In today's episode, I delve into the fascinating concept of enclothed cognition, which shows us how the clothes we wear can significantly influence our minds, moods, and behaviours. This idea is rooted in a study by Adam and Glinsky, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, which explores the relationship between clothing and psychological processes. The episode explores the idea that our clothing choices can be a powerful tool for self-expression and personal growth. By dressing in a way that aligns with our goals and aspirations, we can tap into our inner selves and cultivate the mindset and behaviors necessary to achieve them. If you're interested in learning more about how enclothed cognition can transform your life, tune in to this episode to discover the simple yet profound ways in which your wardrobe can influence your mind and behavior.
