While I haven’t been actively following the Depp v. Heard trial, I do come across snippets and often think about the psychology behind what’s happening and what could be worth sharing with you.
Without passing any judgment (as I don’t know the full facts of the case), I do find the choice of outfits and their colors very interesting.
Research consistently demonstrates that the colors people wear can influence perceived credibility, trustworthiness and power…
What are your thoughts on this and on the trail more broadly? 👇
