Abstract

The current study incorporates concepts from dynamical systems theory (DST) and embodied cognition to propose a novel method of answering traditional questions in social psychology. Namely, we were interested in understanding postural sway complexity during the important interpersonal task of disclosing a hidden stigmatized identity (e.g., mental health disorder, history of sexual abuse). Using detrended fluctuation analysis and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis, we captured postural activity while people shared their personal secrets to an imagined other. Results suggest that disclosure context, defined by both disclosure confidant and antecedent goals, is indeed embodied in our complex postural activity.
