 Did you know that the clothes you wear can affect how you approach and interact with the world?       

             Scientist at Northwestern University in Illinois recently conducted a study on undergraduate test subjects. The students were randomly assinged to wear a doctors coat, a painters coat ( similar to the doctors coat), or look at a doctors coat. Then they were given an attention test. Studies show that subjects who were told they were wearing a doctor's coat scored much higher than the subjects who simply looked at the coat or were told they were wearing a painters coat. This suggests that what we wear affects how we think of ourselves. It is still unclear whether certain clothes can affect a person performance, but just to be safe, you might want to think twice before wearing those gold metalic jeans to your next big exam.
