This blog was...odd. I didn't completely understand how the experiment worked, but I did understand it's purpose (which I think is all I need in order to blog about it).
First of all, I feel like I have pretty decent self-confidence. I know i'm a responsible, hard worker, but I do usually slouch. So does that mean I'm negative? I also can think of several people I know who sit up perfectly straight and work hard, but are shy and have no self-esteem or confidence in themselves. So, based off of personal experience, I disagree with the article. I do believe we should sit up straight in order to look like we have a little self-respect.
Finally, when did someone say (and who is the someone who said) that sitting up stright is BAD for your back? I have mild scoleosis and have NEVER been told by a doctor NOT to sit up straight! Anyone know anything about this?

I blogged on this awhile ago. I found this article interesting. Especially because at the time I found this study to be pretty accurate. I know personally, when I slouch and have negative thoughts I tend not to be as productive compared to when I am sitting up straight. However, after reading your blog makes me wonder how accurate the study really is. I guess I never thought of it this way.
