Large-scale experiments, nobody spent, all the results come to us from small laboratories. But this is enough to understand how clothing affects our lives.
Formal suit or wrinkled shirt?
If you want to be successful and creative at work, you need to wear a suit. That is the conclusion reached by researchers in August 2015.
experiment, participants were asked to choose a strict dress or informal clothes, and then take tests on intelligence. Those who during the quest was dressed in a business suit, do a better job on abstract thinking. It is this type of thinking is needed in order to give out interesting ideas and to be a good strategist.
But informal clothes may adversely affect the results of your work. In particular, this style is absolutely not suitable for negotiation. A study published in December 2014, showed that those who prefer a formal suit casual clothes, much better manifest themselves during the negotiations.
Formally dressed people are more willing to come into play, a good bargain, and finally conclude the deal on more favorable terms.
Moreover, those study participants who prefer an informal style, at the end of the test had a lower level testosterone in blood.
It is interesting that the doctor's white coat makes a person to be more attentive. Participants in the experiment, conducted in 2012, showed that if the doctor put on a uniform and begin the difficult task that requires attention, you can make mistakes twice less.
The participants who wore white robes, but thought it was painters wear, and not doctors, were wrong as often as those who do not wear uniforms.
Every hunter wants to know
Is it possible that the color of clothes affects our productivity? Scientists are interested in this question, having received evidence that the colors of our clothes directly affect the results. For example, at the 2004 Olympic Games are often won athletes, Which was red form.
In 2013, researchers asked 28 men athletes, similar in physique, strength and age, to compete with each other. In this case, one of the opponents wore red uniforms, the other - blue.
It was found that athletes in red had a higher carrying capacity, heart rate have been higher than those of competitors. However, this influence was limited to color: the red, blue and won with the same frequency.

Attempts to look very stylish and fashionably can have unpleasant consequences. Especially if you put on a fake under well-known brands.
Unfortunately, feykovye outfits and accessories make us not only insecure, but also change our behavior.
Evidence of this result serves unusual experiment. Group participants were given glasses. Some girls said that the accessories from the latest collection very well-known brand, while others said that it was a fake. Then, participants were asked to solve several tests. The better they will perform this task, the more money will be rewarded.
Surprisingly (and quite unexpectedly), but those girls who know that fake glasses, often tried to write off, cheat and falsify the test results. The study's authors believe that it is a fake accessory forced participants to be dishonest.
In addition, as a result of the experiment it turned out that the girl, who knew about the forgery, often unaware of other participants in the cheating and cheating.
Red shoes
What we judge others by their looks, not news. Scientists say we prefer to see it on the other the clothes, which is expected. For example, the doctor has to wear a white coat, boys - something blue or blue. But there is an exception to this rule, and it was called "red shoes".
In 2014, we published the results of a study in which researchers studied the response to our failure to comply with strict rules. It turned out that the man, who had put on a red tie to the event, a dress code that requires black tieIt receives approval from others. Moreover, people will consider this "Neformal" a man of high social status, professional and a great original.
Another experiment demonstrated: Professor, which combines the usual strict dress with a pair of bright red shoes of sneakers or valued by students anymore.
Small (!) Deviation from the norm we treat as a powerful expression of individuality. At the same time we fix: this person is original and can afford to risk social status.
