Carney's field of study is nonverbal communication,[4][5] power and status,[4] and racial bias and discrimination.[4] She has published over 50 articles on these topics in her ten years as a faculty member.[6][4] Prior to serving on the faculty at UC Berkeley she was an assistant professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Business. Previous to Columbia she spent time as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard in the Psychology Department working with Mahzarin Banaji,[7]Wendy Berry Mendes, and Moshe Bar. She received her PhD in experimental psychology from Northeastern University working with Judith A. Hall and C. Randall Colvin. She also received a master's degree at California State University, Fullerton working with Jinni A. Harrigan and Ronald E. Riggio and a B.A. from the University of San Francisco working with Maureen O'Sullivan.[6]
Power poses
Carney is the primary author of the power pose phenomenon popularized by Amy Cuddy.[citation needed] The idea of power posing builds on a paper Carney published in 2005 called "Beliefs about the nonverbal expression of social power" and a finding called the facial feedback hypothesis (which has come under some scrutiny for possibly being a false positive finding; however a recent paper suggests the facial feedback hypothesis may be a true phenomenon after all).[8] After many failed replications of Carney's power pose work, Carney posted a note on her personal website explaining that she no longer believed in the effects of power posing on feelings, hormones, and risk-taking behavior. This "position on power poses"[9] note contributed to the discussion of replicability in psychological science by Carney being among a first recent batch of scientists publicly disclosing they did not, after failed replications, have faith in their own research. Carney was applauded for her willingness to disclose her doubts.[10][11][12]
