Social power and emotional experience: Actor and partner effects within dyadic interactions (2008, background): “Power has been shown to relate to approach-related cognition (Guinote, 2007) and behavior (Chen et al.”
Power reduces the press of the situation: implications for creativity, conformity, and dissonance. (2008, background): “…1995; Chen, Lee-Chai, & Bargh, 2001; Galinsky et al., 2003; Galinsky, Magee, Inesi, & Gruenfeld, 2006; Gruenfeld, Inesi, Magee, & Galinsky, 2008; Guinote, 2007a, 2007b, 2008; Keltner et al., 2003; Magee, Galinsky, & Gruenfeld, 2007; P. K. Smith et al., 2008; P. K. Smith & Trope, 2006; Weick &…”
Can we control it? Autonomous robots threaten human identity, uniqueness, safety, and resources (2017, background): “Since power operates through the need for control (Guinote, 2007), autonomous machines could produce the outcomes known from work on social power in human relationships.”
Behaviour variability and the Situated Focus Theory of Power (2007, methodology): “These effects occur in all phases of goal pursuit (Guinote, 2007a).”
8 Social Hierarchy: The Self‐Reinforcing Nature of Power and Status (2008, background): “As a result, the powerful focus less on the details and more on the “big picture”, the gist of information (Smith & Trope, 2006 ; see also Guinote, 2007 ).”
Remembering the Details: Effects of Emotion (2009, background): “…differently than individuals who find information to be unconnected to their self-concept (discussed in Schacter, Gutchess, & Kensinger, in press), and individuals in a powerless position may process information differently from individuals with power over a situation (e.g., Guinote, 2007).”
Power, stability of power, and creativity (2011, background): “Powerful individuals process information more abstractly and flexibly (Guinote, 2007; Smith & Trope, 2006; 3 AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Power and Creativity Förster, 2009), use less diagnostic and more confirmatory strategies (De Dreu & Van Kleef, 2004; Leyens, Dardenne, &…”
The power to be me: Power elevates self-concept consistency and authenticity (2011, background): “For example, high-power primed individuals are more likely to persist at behaviors consistent with their internal goals (Guinote, 2007a; b).”
Seeing women as objects: The sexual body part recognition bias (2012, result): “This is consistent with other considerations of power that suggest that power leads people to more actively pursue their goals and ignore irrelevant aspects of the situation (Guinote, 2007a, 2007b).”
Leader power and leader self-serving behavior: The role of effective leadership beliefs and performance information (2010, background): “…to engage in more goal-directed behavior (Anderson, Keltner, & John, 2003; Chen et al., 6 AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Leader Self-Serving Behavior 2001; Guinote, 2007a, 2007b), and to act in more variable ways (Guinote, Judd, & Brauer, 2002) than their low power counterparts.”
The Nonconscious Nature of Power: Cues and Consequences (2010, background): “Guinote (2007a) found additional evidence for such selective processing on the part of the powerful: High-power but not low-power relevant for the task at hand.”
The detrimental effects of power on confidence, advice taking, and accuracy (2011, methodology): “Powerful individuals are more likely to attend to goal-relevant information than are low power individuals (Fiske, 2010; Galinsky et al., 2003; Guinote, 2007b).”
