Preferred term

power, cognition, and behavior  

Definition(s)

  • Being in a powerful or a powerless social position has a fundamental impact on the way individuals perceive others, how they make judgments, and how they behave. Individuals who control others often pay less attention to their subordinates, act more quickly, prioritize more, more easily attain desired outcomes, and behave in more extreme ways as compared to individuals who do not possess power.
