La postura afecta la autoestima

Todavía me parece escucharla: “¡Tú recto! ¡La cabeza alta! ¡Mirando siempre a la punta de la Torre de La Equitativa*!”. Para mi abuela era muy importante la postura; según ella, influía mucho en cómo los otros te veían y en cómo te veías tú mismo. Ahora un estudio publicado en Psychological Science dirigido por Li Huang y Adam Galinsky, ambos de la Universidad Northwestern (EE.UU.), viene a confirmar esta idea.
