In groups with members who are appraising the relative power of their ...

摘要:Across three laboratory studies, this paper illustrates how a common strategic decision aimed at increasing one's own power-investing in outside options-can lead to opportunistic behavior in exchange relationships. We show that the extent to which individuals have invested in creating outside options increases the likelihood that they will exploit their current exchange partners, even after controlling for the leverage provided by the outside options. Our results demonstrate that having previo...

Across four studies, the unstable powerful and the stable powerless preferred probabilistic ...

The experiments elicit this phenomenon through social comparison processes that result in individuals' perceptions of their own power assimilating toward the power of the powerful other, which is driven by the motivation to characterize oneself as powerful. We demonstrate that men wh...
