“High power participants were almost three times as likely as low power participants to draw a self-oriented E.”

“Successful negotiators recommend that you should mimic the mannerisms of your negotiation partner to get a better deal. For example, when the other person rubs his/her face, you should, too. If he/she leans back or leans forward in the chair, you should, too. However, they say it is very important that you mimic subtly enough that the other person does not notice what you are doing, otherwise this technique completely backfires. Also, do not direct too much of your attention to the mimicking so you don’t lose focus on the outcome of the negotiation. Thus, you should find a happy medium of consistent but subtle mimicking that does not disrupt your focus.”

“When a digital photograph was attached to a patient’s file, radiologists provided longer, more meticulous reports.”

Yehonatan Turner, Shuli Silberman, Sandor Joffe, Irith Hadas-Halpern, “The Effects of Including a Patient’s Photograph to the Radiographic Examination,” Radiological Society of North America (2008)

“Approximately 80% of the radiologic incidental findings reported originally were not reported when the photograph was omitted from the file.”
