“…As a result, victim cynicism leads to diminished forgiveness. In previous research on social perception of the powerful, researchers consistently show that high power is a salient heuristic that perceivers rely on to form perceptions regardless of perceivers' attributes (e.g., Fiske and Durante, 2014;Fragale et al, 2009;Fragale et al, 2011).…”

“…Power (or at least harsh power) has a significant impact on how those who possess it are perceived by others (Fragale et al, 2011). Specifically, it is well-established that power influences the two fundamental dimensions of social perception: the extent to which someone desires to advance interests of the self (i.e., dominance) and the extent to which this person is interpersonally benevolent (i.e., warmth) (Abele et al, 2008;Fiske et al, 2007;Fiske and Durante, 2014;Fragale et al, 2011).…”

“…Given that power holders constrain people's free choice, people generally dislike being controlled by power holders (Leotti et al, 2010). Thus, they tend to associate power with high dominance and low warmth (Fragale et al, 2011). Indeed, Fragale and colleagues (2011) showed that individuals in high-power occupations were rated as having more dominance-related traits (i.e., dominant, assertive, forceful) and fewer When saying sorry may not help warmth-related traits (i.e., warm, cooperative, agreeable) than individuals in low-power occupations.…”

In sum, this stream of research shows that people generally believe that highpower actors are cold and dominant in relationships, while low-power actors are believed to be warm and submissive (Anderson and Brown, 2010;Fiske and Durante, 2014;Fragale et al, 2009;Fragale et al, 2011;Tiedens et al, 2000).…”

When saying sorry may not help: Transgressor power moderates the effect of an apology on forgiveness in the workplace

When saying sorry may not help AbstractAn apology, as an expression of remorse, can be an effective response from a transgressor to obtain forgiveness from a victim. Yet, to be effective, the victim should not construe the transgressor's actions in a cynical way. Because low-power people tend to interpret the actions of high-power people in a cynical way, we argue that an apology (vs. no apology)from high-power transgressors should be relatively ineffective in increasing forgiveness from low-power victims. We find support for this moderated mediation model in a critical incidents study (Study 1), a forced recall study (Study 2) among employees from various organizations, and a controlled laboratory experiment among business students (Study 3).These studies reveal the limited value of expressions of remorse by high-power people in promoting forgiveness.

When extraordinary injustice leads to ordinary response: How perpetrator power and size of an injustice event affect bystander efficacy and collective action

Although bystanders can play an integral role in the process of social change, relatively few studies have examined the factors that influence bystander collective action. The present research explores the effect of perpetrator power on bystander efficacy and collective action, as well as the moderating role of impact of the injustice event. Across two experiments, bystanders perceived that collective action would be less effective and were less willing to engage in collective action when a highpower perpetrator engaged in injustice, compared with a low-power perpetrator. These effects were moderated by impact of the injustice event, such that the effects of power were especially present under conditions of large impact (many victims), compared with small impact (fewer victims). Whereas the effect of the interaction of perpetrator power and impact on bystander efficacy was explained by perceptions of normativity of the injustice event, the effect of the interaction on bystander collective action was explained by bystander efficacy. Implications for bystander collective action and social change are discussed.
