Rucker's study divided participants into two groups, exposing one to "high power" music with lots of bass, and the other to "lower power" music. According to Derek Rucker, co-author of the study and a professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, the level of bass in a song has the power to increase confidence, improve abstract thinking, and make us feel in control: Just as professional athletes might put on empowering music before they take the field to get them in a powerful state of mind you might try in certain situations where you want to be empowered. But what if you could boost your confidence in a matter of minutes? There's such a thing as confidence-boosting music, according to a study from The Society for Personality and Social Psychology, and it's the kind that's all about that bass. For some, confidence is an acquired skill rather than an innate tendency.
