How You Dress May Affect Your Productivity by chily11: 8:44am On Dec 27, 2017 |
You roll out of bed in the morning and stare into your closet. A voice calls from the back of the rack. "Pick me!" You reach in and pull out that blue shirt you bought on sale at the mall in 2012. It's not all that comfortable, but it meets the minimum workplace requirement for whatever's considered "professional." As you sit at your desk with that collar digging into your neck, you think about how you wish you could be at home in a T-shirt and sweatpants. And while that old blue shirt isn't making you all that happy, it's also sending signals to your coworkers and everyone you pass on the street. Our wardrobe may not seem important, but it has a huge impact on how we feel and how the world perceives us. How does our dress affect us? Formal clothes make us think of ourselves as competent and rational. And dressing better than those around us makes us think more abstractly, so you can focus on the big picture. That's good, right? Not entirely. That tie around your neck may be choking off your relationships with your team. According to a 2015 study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, dressing up for work triggers "psychological formality and social distance, whereas casual clothing is related to intimacy and familiarity." The researchers found that being around people in fancy clothes made others alter their vocabulary. They were more polite. While politeness is nice in some settings, it also creates a social barrier that could interfere with open, honest teamwork. That's where comfort is key. "No matter how often you wear formal clothing, if you are wearing formal clothing, then you are likely in a context that's not the intimate, comfortable, and more socially close setting with no dress code," said Michael Slepian, one of the study's authors. continue here [url]go2pedia..com[/url] |
