Amy Joy Casselberry Cuddy (born July 23, 1972)[1][2] is an American social psychologist, author and speaker. She is a proponent of "power posing",[3][4] a self-improvement technique whose scientific validity has been questioned.[5][6] She has served as a faculty member at Rutgers University, Kellogg School of Management and Harvard Business School.[7] Cuddy's most cited academic work involves using the stereotype content model that she helped develop to better understand the way people think about stereotyped people and groups.[8] Though Cuddy left her tenure-track position at Harvard Business School in the spring of 2017,[5] she continues to contribute to its executive education programs.[9]
