Power Influences Self–Esteem

Wojciszke, Bogdan, Struzynska–Kujalowicz, Anna·2007·Social Cognition

Abstract

Two studies are reported where high-versus low-power positions were induced through recalling autobiographical events or by serving a supervisory or subordinate role in a task. Both affective states and global self–esteem increased as a result of elevated power while lowered power resulted in decreases in affect and self–esteem. Changes in self–esteem were completely mediated by changes in affective states. The results are discussed as supporting the approach–inhibition theory of power (Keltner, Gruenfeld, & Anderson, 2003).

  • Experiences of status, including socioeconomic status and being assigned the role of supervisor, predict higher self-esteem.

    “In addition, experiences of status including socioeconomic status (Twenge & Campbell, 2002) and being assigned the role of supervisors (Wojciszke & Struzynska-Kujalowicz, 2007) were found to predict higher self-esteem.”

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.
