when<00:05:18.720> it<00:05:18.800> comes<00:05:19.039> to<00:05:19.280> power<00:05:19.759> is<00:05:19.919> that<00:05:20.320> we
when it comes to power is that we
when it comes to power is that we

when<00:06:06.639> they<00:06:06.800> raise<00:06:07.039> their<00:06:07.199> hand
when they raise their hand
when they raise their hand
i<00:06:08.720> notice<00:06:09.039> a<00:06:09.120> couple<00:06:09.280> things<00:06:09.520> about<00:06:09.680> this<00:06:10.000> one
i notice a couple things about this one
i notice a couple things about this one
you're<00:06:10.560> not<00:06:10.720> going<00:06:10.800> to<00:06:10.880> be<00:06:11.039> surprised<00:06:11.840> it
you're not going to be surprised it
you're not going to be surprised it
seems<00:06:12.240> to<00:06:12.400> be<00:06:12.479> related<00:06:12.880> to<00:06:13.039> gender
seems to be related to gender
seems to be related to gender
so
so
so
women<00:06:16.319> are<00:06:16.479> much<00:06:16.720> more<00:06:16.960> likely<00:06:17.360> to<00:06:17.520> do<00:06:17.680> this
women are much more likely to do this
women are much more likely to do this
kind<00:06:18.080> of<00:06:18.240> thing<00:06:18.400> than<00:06:18.639> men
kind of thing than men
kind of thing than men
women<00:06:20.240> feel<00:06:20.479> chronically<00:06:21.199> less<00:06:21.440> powerful
women feel chronically less powerful
women feel chronically less powerful
than<00:06:22.080> men<00:06:22.319> so<00:06:22.479> this<00:06:22.639> is<00:06:22.720> not<00:06:22.880> surprising
than men so this is not surprising
than men so this is not surprising
but<00:06:24.880> the<00:06:24.960> other<00:06:25.120> thing<00:06:25.280> i<00:06:25.440> noticed<00:06:25.759> is<00:06:25.840> that<00:06:26.000> it
but the other thing i noticed is that it
but the other thing i noticed is that it
also<00:06:26.479> seemed<00:06:26.720> to<00:06:26.800> be<00:06:26.960> related<00:06:27.759> to<00:06:27.919> the<00:06:28.160> extent
also seemed to be related to the extent
also seemed to be related to the extent
to<00:06:28.720> which<00:06:28.960> the<00:06:29.120> students<00:06:29.440> were<00:06:29.600> participating
to which the students were participating
to which the students were participating
and<00:06:31.039> how<00:06:31.280> well<00:06:31.520> they<00:06:31.600> were<00:06:31.759> participating<00:06:32.560> and
and how well they were participating and
and how well they were participating and
this<00:06:32.880> is<00:06:33.120> really<00:06:33.440> important<00:06:34.319> in<00:06:34.400> the<00:06:34.560> mba
this is really important in the mba
this is really important in the mba
classroom<00:06:35.440> because<00:06:35.680> participation<00:06:36.479> counts
classroom because participation counts
classroom because participation counts
for<00:06:36.880> half<00:06:37.120> a<00:06:37.199> grade
for half a grade
for half a grade
so
so
so
business<00:06:40.000> schools<00:06:40.240> have<00:06:40.319> been<00:06:40.479> struggling
business schools have been struggling
business schools have been struggling
with<00:06:40.960> its<00:06:41.120> gender<00:06:41.440> grade<00:06:41.759> gap<00:06:42.560> you<00:06:42.639> get<00:06:42.800> these
with its gender grade gap you get these
with its gender grade gap you get these
equally<00:06:43.520> qualified<00:06:44.000> women<00:06:44.240> and<00:06:44.400> men<00:06:44.639> coming
equally qualified women and men coming
equally qualified women and men coming
in
in
in
and<00:06:46.240> then<00:06:46.479> you<00:06:46.560> get<00:06:46.720> these<00:06:46.960> differences<00:06:47.440> and
and then you get these differences and
and then you get these differences and
grades<00:06:47.919> and<00:06:48.000> it<00:06:48.080> seems<00:06:48.319> to<00:06:48.479> be<00:06:48.639> partly
grades and it seems to be partly
grades and it seems to be partly
attributable<00:06:49.520> to<00:06:49.680> participation
attributable to participation
attributable to participation
so<00:06:51.280> i<00:06:51.440> started<00:06:51.759> to<00:06:51.919> wonder<00:06:52.800> you<00:06:52.960> know<00:06:53.199> okay<00:06:54.000> so
so i started to wonder you know okay so
so i started to wonder you know okay so
you<00:06:54.319> have<00:06:54.560> these<00:06:54.720> people<00:06:55.199> coming<00:06:55.600> in<00:06:55.680> like
you have these people coming in like
you have these people coming in like
this<00:06:56.160> and<00:06:56.240> they're<00:06:56.400> participating<00:06:57.520> is<00:06:57.680> it
this and they're participating is it
this and they're participating is it
possible<00:06:58.319> that<00:06:58.479> we<00:06:58.560> could<00:06:58.720> get<00:06:58.960> people<00:06:59.199> to
possible that we could get people to
possible that we could get people to
fake<00:06:59.759> it<00:07:00.240> and<00:07:00.400> would<00:07:00.560> it<00:07:00.720> lead<00:07:01.039> them<00:07:01.199> to
fake it and would it lead them to
fake it and would it lead them to
participate<00:07:01.919> more<00:07:02.160> so<00:07:02.880> my<00:07:03.120> main<00:07:03.599> collaborator
participate more so my main collaborator

who's at berkeley and i really wanted to
who's at berkeley and i really wanted to
know<00:07:08.720> can<00:07:08.880> you<00:07:09.120> fake<00:07:09.360> it<00:07:09.440> till<00:07:09.599> you<00:07:09.759> make<00:07:10.000> it
know can you fake it till you make it
know can you fake it till you make it
like<00:07:10.720> can<00:07:10.880> you<00:07:11.039> do<00:07:11.120> this<00:07:11.280> just<00:07:11.440> for<00:07:11.599> a<00:07:11.680> little
like can you do this just for a little
like can you do this just for a little
while<00:07:12.720> and<00:07:12.960> actually<00:07:13.759> experience<00:07:14.319> a
while and actually experience a
while and actually experience a
behavioral<00:07:15.039> outcome<00:07:15.360> that<00:07:15.520> makes<00:07:15.680> you<00:07:15.840> seem
behavioral outcome that makes you seem
behavioral outcome that makes you seem
more<00:07:16.240> powerful<00:07:17.199> so<00:07:17.440> we<00:07:17.680> know<00:07:18.000> that<00:07:18.160> our
more powerful so we know that our
more powerful so we know that our
non-verbals<00:07:19.520> govern<00:07:19.840> how<00:07:20.160> other<00:07:20.400> people
non-verbals govern how other people
non-verbals govern how other people
think<00:07:20.960> and<00:07:21.039> feel<00:07:21.199> about<00:07:21.440> us<00:07:21.599> there's<00:07:21.759> a<00:07:21.840> lot<00:07:22.000> of
think and feel about us there's a lot of
think and feel about us there's a lot of
evidence<00:07:22.479> but<00:07:22.639> our<00:07:22.800> question<00:07:23.199> really<00:07:23.520> was
evidence but our question really was
evidence but our question really was
do<00:07:24.800> our<00:07:24.960> non-verbals<00:07:25.759> govern<00:07:26.160> how<00:07:26.319> we<00:07:26.479> think
do our non-verbals govern how we think
do our non-verbals govern how we think
and<00:07:26.800> feel<00:07:27.039> about<00:07:27.280> ourselves
and feel about ourselves
and feel about ourselves
there's<00:07:29.680> some<00:07:30.000> evidence<00:07:30.400> that<00:07:30.560> they<00:07:30.800> do<00:07:31.199> so
there's some evidence that they do so
there's some evidence that they do so
for<00:07:32.319> example<00:07:32.960> um
for example um
for example um
when<00:07:34.080> we<00:07:34.400> we<00:07:34.639> smile<00:07:34.960> when<00:07:35.120> we<00:07:35.280> feel<00:07:35.520> happy<00:07:36.000> but
when we we smile when we feel happy but
when we we smile when we feel happy but
also<00:07:36.479> when<00:07:36.639> we're<00:07:36.880> forced<00:07:37.199> to<00:07:37.360> smile<00:07:37.840> by
also when we're forced to smile by
also when we're forced to smile by
holding<00:07:38.560> a<00:07:38.639> pen<00:07:38.880> in<00:07:39.039> our<00:07:39.120> teeth<00:07:39.360> like<00:07:39.599> this
holding a pen in our teeth like this
holding a pen in our teeth like this
it<00:07:41.120> makes<00:07:41.360> us<00:07:41.520> feel<00:07:41.759> happy
it makes us feel happy
it makes us feel happy
so<00:07:42.960> it<00:07:43.120> goes<00:07:43.360> both<00:07:43.599> ways<00:07:44.319> when<00:07:44.479> it<00:07:44.560> comes<00:07:44.800> to
so it goes both ways when it comes to
so it goes both ways when it comes to
power
power
power
um
um
um
it<00:07:46.880> also<00:07:47.199> goes<00:07:47.440> both<00:07:47.680> ways<00:07:48.240> so<00:07:48.560> when<00:07:48.720> you<00:07:49.199> when
it also goes both ways so when you when
it also goes both ways so when you when
you<00:07:49.759> uh<00:07:50.160> feel<00:07:50.400> powerful<00:07:50.880> you're<00:07:51.039> more<00:07:51.199> likely
you uh feel powerful you're more likely
you uh feel powerful you're more likely
to<00:07:51.680> do<00:07:51.840> this<00:07:52.400> but<00:07:52.560> it's<00:07:52.800> also<00:07:53.120> possible
to do this but it's also possible
to do this but it's also possible
that<00:07:54.479> um<00:07:55.199> when<00:07:55.360> you<00:07:55.759> when<00:07:56.000> you
that um when you when you
that um when you when you
pretend<00:07:57.440> to<00:07:57.520> be<00:07:57.759> powerful<00:07:58.639> you<00:07:58.960> are<00:07:59.360> more
pretend to be powerful you are more
pretend to be powerful you are more
likely<00:08:00.400> to<00:08:00.639> actually<00:08:01.039> feel<00:08:01.280> powerful
likely to actually feel powerful
likely to actually feel powerful
so<00:08:02.879> the<00:08:03.039> second<00:08:03.440> question<00:08:03.759> really<00:08:04.160> was<00:08:04.720> you
so the second question really was you
so the second question really was you
know
know
know
so<00:08:05.840> we<00:08:06.000> know<00:08:06.240> that<00:08:06.400> our<00:08:06.639> minds<00:08:06.960> change<00:08:07.280> our
so we know that our minds change our
so we know that our minds change our
bodies<00:08:08.240> but<00:08:08.400> is<00:08:08.560> it<00:08:08.720> also<00:08:09.039> true<00:08:09.360> that<00:08:09.599> that<00:08:09.840> our
bodies but is it also true that that our
bodies but is it also true that that our
bodies<00:08:10.720> change<00:08:11.039> our<00:08:11.199> minds
bodies change our minds
bodies change our minds
and<00:08:12.879> when<00:08:13.039> i<00:08:13.199> say<00:08:13.520> minds<00:08:13.919> in<00:08:14.000> the<00:08:14.080> case<00:08:14.319> of<00:08:14.400> the

that's<00:08:23.199> hormones<00:08:24.000> i<00:08:24.160> look<00:08:24.319> at<00:08:24.479> hormones<00:08:25.280> so
that's hormones i look at hormones so
that's hormones i look at hormones so
what<00:08:25.759> do<00:08:25.919> the<00:08:26.080> minds<00:08:26.400> of<00:08:26.560> the<00:08:26.720> powerful<00:08:27.680> versus

and cortisol which is the stress hormone
so
so
so
what<00:09:02.800> we<00:09:03.040> find<00:09:03.440> is<00:09:03.600> that
what we find is that
what we find is that
um
um
um
a<00:09:06.000> high<00:09:06.480> power<00:09:07.279> alpha<00:09:07.600> males<00:09:08.000> and<00:09:08.160> primate
a high power alpha males and primate
a high power alpha males and primate
hierarchies<00:09:09.200> have<00:09:09.360> high<00:09:09.600> testosterone<00:09:10.399> and
hierarchies have high testosterone and
hierarchies have high testosterone and
low<00:09:10.800> cortisol
low cortisol
low cortisol
and
and
and
powerful<00:09:13.760> and<00:09:14.000> effective<00:09:14.480> leaders<00:09:15.120> also<00:09:15.519> have
powerful and effective leaders also have
powerful and effective leaders also have
high<00:09:16.000> testosterone<00:09:17.040> and<00:09:17.200> low<00:09:17.440> cortisol<00:09:18.240> so
high testosterone and low cortisol so
high testosterone and low cortisol so
what<00:09:18.640> does<00:09:18.800> that<00:09:18.959> mean<00:09:19.519> when<00:09:19.680> you<00:09:19.839> think<00:09:20.000> about
what does that mean when you think about
what does that mean when you think about
power<00:09:20.560> 10<00:09:20.800> people<00:09:21.040> tended<00:09:21.360> to<00:09:21.440> think<00:09:21.680> only
power 10 people tended to think only
power 10 people tended to think only
about<00:09:22.160> testosterone<00:09:22.720> because<00:09:22.880> that<00:09:22.959> was
about testosterone because that was
about testosterone because that was
about<00:09:23.600> dominance<00:09:24.640> but<00:09:24.800> really<00:09:25.200> power<00:09:25.519> is<00:09:25.680> also
about dominance but really power is also
about dominance but really power is also
about<00:09:26.240> how<00:09:26.399> you<00:09:26.560> react<00:09:26.880> to<00:09:27.040> stress<00:09:27.839> so<00:09:28.080> do<00:09:28.240> you
about how you react to stress so do you
about how you react to stress so do you
want<00:09:28.640> the<00:09:28.800> high<00:09:29.120> power<00:09:29.519> leader<00:09:30.320> that's
want the high power leader that's
want the high power leader that's
dominant<00:09:31.200> high<00:09:31.440> on<00:09:31.519> testosterone<00:09:32.320> but<00:09:32.640> really
dominant high on testosterone but really
dominant high on testosterone but really
stress<00:09:33.360> reactive<00:09:34.080> probably<00:09:34.480> not<00:09:34.880> right<00:09:35.040> you

want<00:09:35.440> the<00:09:35.600> person
want the person
want the person
who's<00:09:36.720> powerful<00:09:37.279> and<00:09:37.440> assertive<00:09:38.000> and
who's powerful and assertive and
who's powerful and assertive and

and his cortisol has dropped
and his cortisol has dropped
significantly<00:10:00.959> so<00:10:01.200> we<00:10:01.279> have<00:10:01.519> this<00:10:01.839> evidence
significantly so we have this evidence

both<00:10:03.040> that<00:10:03.200> the<00:10:03.360> body<00:10:03.760> can<00:10:04.080> shape<00:10:04.320> the<00:10:04.399> mind<00:10:04.640> at

and also
that<00:10:08.560> role<00:10:08.880> changes<00:10:09.440> can<00:10:09.600> shape<00:10:09.920> the<00:10:10.000> mind<00:10:10.720> so
that role changes can shape the mind so
that role changes can shape the mind so
what<00:10:11.120> happens<00:10:11.519> okay<00:10:11.760> you<00:10:11.920> take<00:10:12.160> a<00:10:12.320> role<00:10:12.720> change
what happens okay you take a role change
what happens okay you take a role change
what<00:10:14.399> happens<00:10:14.720> if<00:10:14.800> you<00:10:14.880> do<00:10:15.040> that<00:10:15.200> at<00:10:15.279> a<00:10:15.360> really
what happens if you do that at a really

this or this they don't look at pictures
this or this they don't look at pictures
of<00:11:15.760> the<00:11:15.839> poses<00:11:16.160> we<00:11:16.320> don't<00:11:16.399> want<00:11:16.560> to<00:11:16.640> prime<00:11:16.880> them
of the poses we don't want to prime them
of the poses we don't want to prime them
with<00:11:17.200> a<00:11:17.279> concept<00:11:17.680> of<00:11:17.839> power<00:11:18.399> we<00:11:18.560> want<00:11:18.720> them<00:11:18.880> to
with a concept of power we want them to
with a concept of power we want them to
be<00:11:19.279> feeling<00:11:19.760> power<00:11:20.240> right<00:11:20.480> so<00:11:20.720> two<00:11:20.880> minutes
be feeling power right so two minutes
be feeling power right so two minutes
they<00:11:21.279> do<00:11:21.519> this
they do this
they do this
we<00:11:22.560> then<00:11:22.800> ask<00:11:23.040> them<00:11:23.440> how<00:11:23.600> powerful<00:11:24.000> do<00:11:24.160> you
we then ask them how powerful do you
we then ask them how powerful do you
feel<00:11:24.480> on<00:11:24.560> a<00:11:24.640> series<00:11:24.959> of<00:11:25.120> items<00:11:25.920> and<00:11:26.079> then<00:11:26.320> we
feel on a series of items and then we
feel on a series of items and then we
give<00:11:26.640> them<00:11:26.800> an<00:11:26.959> opportunity<00:11:27.519> to<00:11:27.760> gamble
give them an opportunity to gamble
give them an opportunity to gamble
and<00:11:28.959> then<00:11:29.440> we<00:11:29.760> take<00:11:29.920> another<00:11:30.240> saliva<00:11:30.720> sample
and then we take another saliva sample
and then we take another saliva sample
that's<00:11:31.360> it<00:11:31.440> that's<00:11:31.680> the<00:11:31.760> whole<00:11:32.000> experiment<00:11:32.880> so
that's it that's the whole experiment so
that's it that's the whole experiment so
this<00:11:33.200> is<00:11:33.279> what<00:11:33.440> we<00:11:33.680> find<00:11:34.399> risk<00:11:34.720> tolerance
this is what we find risk tolerance
this is what we find risk tolerance
which<00:11:35.360> is<00:11:35.440> the<00:11:35.600> gambling<00:11:36.640> what<00:11:36.800> we<00:11:36.959> find<00:11:37.200> is
which is the gambling what we find is
which is the gambling what we find is
that<00:11:37.440> when<00:11:37.680> you're<00:11:37.760> not<00:11:37.920> when<00:11:38.079> the<00:11:38.320> when

86<00:11:41.279> of<00:11:41.440> you<00:11:41.920> will<00:11:42.160> gamble<00:11:42.959> when<00:11:43.440> you're<00:11:43.600> in<00:11:43.680> the
