Power Increases Social Distance (2012, background): “Overall, the powerful rely more on their internal states (Galinsky et al., 2008; Weick & Guinote, 2008), are less likely to consider about what others think (Galinsky et al., 2006), and as a result are often more efficient in self-regulation (Dewall, Baumeister, Mead, & Vohs, 2011; Guinote, 2007b;…”
The Nonconscious Nature of Power: Cues and Consequences (2010, background): “Galinsky et al. (2008) found that power makes people relatively immune to the strength of the situation.”

Resources versus respect: Social judgments based on targets' power and status positions (2011, background): “…interest in social psychology, and this interest has appeared to increase dramatically in recent years (e.g., Anderson & Berdahl, 2002; Fast & Chen, 2009; Fragale, 2006; Fragale et al., 2009; Galinsky et al., 2003, 2008; Overbeck & Park, 2001; Tiedens et al., 2000; Weick & Guinote, 2008).”
The detrimental effects of power on confidence, advice taking, and accuracy (2011, background): “…the instrumental logic for the powerful to take more advice is compelling, the weight of the theoretical and empirical work reviewed above (e.g., Galinsky et al., 2006, 2008; Keltner et al., 2003; Morrison & Rothman, 2008; See & Clemen, 2011) suggests that when making judgments and decisions…”
GLOMOsys: A Systems Account of Global Versus Local Processing (2010, background): “Recently, Galinsky et al. (2008) showed that participants primed with power concepts (e.g., authority, boss, control) outperformed participants who were primed with concepts unrelated to power (e.g., automobile, bass, song) in a creative generation task 1The primes were carefully pretested with…”
The dysfunctions of power in teams: A review and emergent conflict perspective (2017, neutral): “…of actual social interaction (e.g., Anderson & Berdahl, 2002; Fast, Gruenfeld, Sivanathan, & Galinsky, 2009; Galinsky, Gruenfeld, & Magee, 2003; Galinsky, Magee, Gruenfeld, Whitson, & Liljenquist, 2008; Lammers, Dubois, Rucker, & Galinsky, 2013), focused on individual rather than team outcomes…”
