“…We utilized a widely accepted manipulation of social power (e.g., Anderson & Galinsky, 2006;DeCelles, DeRue, Margolis, & Ceranic, 2012;Duguid & Goncalo, 2012;Galinsky et al, 2003;Guinote, 2007b;Johnson & Lammers, 2012;Scheepers, de Wit, Ellemers, & Sassenberg, 2012;Smith & Trope, 2006) that maps onto classic and current conceptualizations of social power (Fiske, 1993;French & Raven, 1959;Thibaut & Kelley, 1959;Keltner et al, 2003). Participants in the high power condition were asked to recall a situation in which they had power over another person and participants in the low power condition were asked to recall a situation in which another person had power over them.…”

“…Power holders make fast decisions and act promptly. This quick decision making is accompanied by increased cardiovascular efficiency in challenging situations, which provides physical resources for action (Scheepers et al 2012, Schmid & Schmid Mast 2013.

Sociocognitive research has demonstrated that power affects how people feel, think, and act. In this article, I review literature from social psychology, neuroscience, management, and animal research and propose an integrated framework of power as an intensifier of goal-related approach motivation. A growing literature shows that power energizes thought, speech, and action and orients individuals toward salient goals linked to power roles, predispositions, tasks, and opportunities. Power magnifies self-expression linked to active parts of the self (the active self ), enhancing confidence, self-regulation, and prioritization of efforts toward advancing focal goals. The effects of power on cognitive processes, goal preferences, performance, and corruption are discussed, and its potentially detrimental effects on social attention, perspective taking, and objectification of subordinates are examined. Several inconsistencies in the literature are explained by viewing power holders as more flexible and dynamic than is usually assumed.

“…On the other hand, powerless ones are inclined to see their selves as a means to achieve others' goals which lead to negative emotions. In fact, there were a number of neurobiological and physiological evidences that supported the contention that power is strongly connected to approachrelated cognitions and behaviors (Boksem, Smolders, & De Cremer, 2012;Scheepers, De Wit, Ellemers, & Sassenberg, 2012).…”
