Enhanced cleavage makes women more confident: Study
March 21st, 2012 - 10:41 pm ICT by IANSLondon, March 21 (IANS) British scientists have measured the effect an enhanced cleavage has on confidence - and found there is a direct link, the Daily Mail reported.
The unique study, led by scientists at Manchester University proves for the first time the clear connection between a cleavage-enhancing bra and increased confidence — prompting the study lead professor Geoff Beattie to call for a stop to “unnecessary boob jobs”.
The study involved scrutinising the behaviours of non-surgically enhanced women in push-up bras to monitor if bigger cleavage gave a significant confidence boost.
A total of 60 video recordings were made of female participants aged 20 to 55. Footage was compared of them wearing a push-up bra and wearing their own normal, everyday bra.
Beattie and his team analysed the three key micro-behaviours associated with confidence and observed their frequency within the recordings.
Smiling - which represents positive emotion and signals confidence increased dramatically by 73 percent when the women were wearing a push-up bra.
Averting gaze and breaking eye contact - normally associated with low confidence - decreased by 41 percent, the Mail said Tuesday.
