Effects of Relative Power on Cognitive Perspective-Taking

Dean Tjosvold

Sabato D. Sagaria

The Pennsylvania State University

College students (N=125) were randomly assigned to one of five levels of relative power in a relationship: No power, low power, equal power, high power, and absolute Power. Subjects with absolute power, compared to subjects in the other conditions, were found to be less interested in cognitive perspective-taking and more interested in affective perspective-taking. Compared to subjects in the equal and absolute power conditions, subjects in the no power condition were more suspicious that the other would compete rather than cooperate.
