f the cast,(JSOne of the best ways to come
ippointmt :$ut of a slump may be to go into
groups- ine — a slump, that is.
ncies — np A psychologist at T exas A&M
University has found that test
the above subjects who were placed in a

tical politi iecond task. They also reported
amroughMess depression in the slumped

GOPbecoiW; “Our physical posture is
imanpart) something many of us give little
•lican migli thought to and yet it may have a
ch before substantial effect on our mental
state and how we respond,” said
Dr. John Riskind, assistant pro
fessor of psychology.
I Riskind said he became in
terested in the effects of posture
on mood and performance be

you, you!? In one study, Riskind tested
ent destuia®! undergraduate men, ran-
on differ Aiomly assigning them to one of
—^* 0U1 conditions: success/upright
posture, success/slumped post
ure, failure/upright posture and
failure/slumped posture.
He found that subjects did
better on subsequent tasks when
they were placed in what he calls
a “situationally appropriate”
posture — slumped after a fai
lure and upright after a success.
“Slumping is ordinarily asso
ciated with the psychological
withdrawal found in depression
and may be maladaptive in the
context of success,” Riskind said.
“However, a slumped body post
ure might protect subjects from
feelings of depression after fai
lure. It may give a person a pri
mitive way of having or main
taining a feeling of control in
bad circumstances.”
Riskind, who has conducted
about 10 studies in the area of
the effects of posture, said he
would like to explore therapeu
tic applications of his results
with depressed patients.
“Although body postures may
partially be a response to emo
tion-inducing events and mood,
that does not exclude the possi
bility that body posture can have
feedback effects,” he said.
