Abstract

Five studies investigated the hypotheses that the sense of power increases optimism in perceiving risks and leads to more risky behavior. In Studies 1 and 2, individuals with a higher generalized sense of power and those primed with a high‐power mind‐set were more optimistic in their perceptions of risk. Study 3 primed the concept of power nonconsciously and found that both power and gain/loss frame had independent effects on risk preferences. In Study 4, those primed with a high‐power mind‐set were more likely to act in a risk‐seeking fashion (i.e., engage in unprotected sex). In Study 5, individuals with a higher sense of power in a face‐to‐face negotiation took more risks by divulging their interests. The effects of power on risk‐taking were mediated by optimistic risk perceptions and not by self‐efficacy beliefs. Further, these effects were attenuated when the high‐power individual felt a sense of responsibility. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
