As soon as doubts start to creep into our thoughts the focus is not so sharp, willpower becomes diluted.<\/p>\n
The way you dress can also influence how you think.<\/p>\n
The Journal of Experimental Social Psychology (July 2012) talked about a study on the influence that clothes have on the wearer’s psychological processes. According to them there are two factors at play – the symbolic meaning of the clothes\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0<\/i>t<\/i>he physical experience of wearing them.<\/p>\n Lab coats are generally associated with attentiveness and carefulness. Experiments showed that subjects wearing a lab coat increased selective attention compared to those not wearing a lab coat.<\/p>\n Another study that observed behavior at a roller rink showed that on strict dress code nights there were fewer accidents and less noise\u2026<\/p>\n So clothes can play an important part in your lives and professional careers.<\/strong><\/p>\n What you wear affects other people\u2019s perception of you as well as your behavior and in the long run your perception of yourself.<\/p>\n Does this mean that you should \u2018dress for the part\u2019?<\/p>\n It basically comes down to your self-confidence and how you feel about yourself.<\/p>\n Some naturally self-confident people are less concerned about what they are wearing. The right attitude has more impact than the right clothes, but sometimes they go very well together\u2026<\/p>\n How your hair looks is also an influencing factor, although this may apply more to women than men. The boost to self-esteem, feeling good because of looking good, makes it easier for you to push the limits of our comfort zone.<\/p>\n
