The atlas records 3 replications of this study. Recorded outcomes: 2 failed, 1 mixed. The earliest on record is from 2015.

Embodying Power, Garrison et al. (2016). Social Psychological and Personality Science. Outcome recorded: failed. Neither body posture nor eye gaze influenced the gambling decision, and contrary to the predictions, adopting an expansive pose reduced feelings of power. Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
Embodied power, testosterone, and overconfidence as a causal pathway to risk-taking, Ronay et al. (2016). Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology. Outcome recorded: failed. We were unable to replicate the findings of the original study and subsequently found no evidence for our extended hypotheses. Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
Assessing the Robustness of Power Posing, Ranehill et al. (2015). Psychological Science. Outcome recorded: mixed. Consistent with the findings of Carney et al., our results showed a significant effect of power posing on self-reported feelings of power. However, we found no significant effect of power posing on hormonal levels or in any of the three behavioral tasks. Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
