(2017-11-B)It's surprising how much simple movement of the bodycan affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).
令人惊奇的是，简单的身体动作会影响我们的思维方式。展开双臂，使用夸张的手势能够让人感受到更多的力量，交叉你的双臂能使你更加坚定，躺下来能让你有更多的感悟。
So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive(认知) performance or is it just a feeling?
因此如果移动身体能有以上诸多的影响，我们穿上衣服又会怎样呢？我们都知道我们穿不同的衣服会让我们感觉自己更有吸引力，更运动，更专业，这全依靠我们所穿的衣服，但是衣服真的能改变人的认知或者它只仅仅是一种感受？
Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.
亚当和Galinsky测试了只穿一件白大褂对人们的注意力的影响。有观点认为，白色外套跟科学家有密切的联系，科学家往往会更密切关注细节。
What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren't. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test(one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect "enclothed cognition," suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.
他们发现，穿白色外套的人的表现往往好于不穿白色外套的人。真正地，在STROOP测试中，他们穿白色外套会比穿自己的衣服会少犯一半错误。研究人员把这种影响叫做“穿衣认知”，表明，所有不同的服装也许会通过不同的方式影响人们认知。
This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef's hat make the restaurant food taste better?（Does the chef who wears a chef’s hat make the.......?)补全省略句
这开启了以服装为基础的各种实验。戴软呢帽的作家会更有创造力吗？戴圆框眼镜又抽烟的心理学家更有洞察力吗？戴着厨师的帽子的厨师会让这家餐馆的食物更美味吗？
From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlogin a cap and gown(学位服).
从现在开始，我只会穿着白大褂的时候才会为心里博客编辑文稿，以帮助降低键入错误。希望，你在阅读心理博客，头戴上方帽身穿学位服，尽自己的职责。
