Improving interoceptive ability through the practice of power posing: A pilot study
Open accessAbstract
Interoception refers to the detection and perception of signals from the inner body. Deficits in this domain have been linked to psychopathologies, prompting the search for strategies to improve this ability. Preliminary studies have shown that interoception could be enhanced through the manipulation of subjective feelings of power. We tested the effects of adopting powerful postures on different facets of interoception. Firstly, we measured the impact of a single power posing session on interoceptive ability in 41 healthy females. Then, the same participants were randomly assigned to two conditions (daily power posing practice vs. no practice). After one week the conditions alternated. Interoceptive accuracy, measured by the heartbeat tracking task, interoceptive sensibility, measured by the Body Perception Questionnaire (BPQ) and confidence ratings, as well as subjective feelings of power were assessed at baseline, after a single power posing session and after one week of training. A single power posing session significantly increased individuals' interoceptive accuracy. Also, power posing reduced individuals' scores on the BPQ after one week of daily practice and increased subjective feelings of power after one session and one week of daily practice. These findings suggest that adopting powerful postures has the potential to increase interoceptive accuracy, as well as subjective feelings of power, and to reduce interoceptive sensibility, measured by questionnaire.

Most people find useful physical and mental exercises that increase feelings of safety and control over the body, such as improving posture, tracking the body autonomic response, and practicing mindfulness.
“Most people find useful physical and mental exercises that increase the feelings of safety and control over the body, such as improving posture (Weineck, Messner, Hauke, & Pollatos, 2019), tracking the body autonomic response (Porges & Dana, 2018) and practicing mindfulness (Gibson, 2019).”

The Discussion reports that power posing increased subjective feelings of power and interoceptive accuracy, supporting posture as the part of the sentence linked to this citation. But the study involved 41 healthy women and does not establish that most people find the exercise useful or that it increases feelings of safety or control over the body. The Discussion raises a state of relaxation and non-threat only as a possible mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
