摘要
Two studies are reported where high-versus low-power positions were induced through recalling autobiographical events or by serving a supervisory or subordinate role in a task. Both affective states and global self-esteem increased as a result of elevated power while lowered power resulted in decreases in affect and self-esteem. Changes in self-esteem IV were completely mediated by changes in affective states. The results are discussed as supporting the approach-inhibition theory of power (Keltner, Gruenfeld, & Anderson, 2003).
