Power strategy use refers to the tactics and techniques that women and men use to persuade others to do something for them. Previous research (Falbo & Peplau, 1980) has shown that the use of power strategies in intimate relationships varies along two separate dimensions: bilateral (versus unilateral) and direct (versus indirect) power strategies. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the types of power strategies that women and men from Mexico and the United States use with their intimate partners. The results indicated that individuals from both Mexico and the United States reported using a number of different power strategies, although Mexican women and men tended to use more bilateral types of power strategies with their intimate partners. These results are interpreted in terms of Falbo and Peplau's (1980) two-dimensional model of power strategy use.
