How Personalized And Socialized Power Motivation Facilitate Antisocial And Prosocial Decision-Making, Joe C. Magee, Carrie A. Langner
How Personalized And Socialized Power Motivation Facilitate Antisocial And Prosocial Decision-Making, Joe C. Magee, Carrie A. Langner
Psychology and Child Development
In two studies, we investigate the effects of individuals’ power motivation on decision-making. We distinguish between two types of power motivation [McClelland, D. C. (1970). The two faces of power. Journal of International Affairs, 24, 29–47; Winter, D. G. (1973). The power motive. New York: The Free Press] and demonstrate that both types of power motivation facilitate influential decision-making but that each type plays a different role in different contexts. In a conflict context (Study 1), individuals’ personalized (self-serving) power motivation was associated with antisocial decisions, and in a healthcare context (Study 2), individuals socialized (other-serving) power motivation …
A Behavioral Intervention Tool For Recreation Managers, Shawn Meghan Burn, Patricia L. Winter
A Behavioral Intervention Tool For Recreation Managers, Shawn Meghan Burn, Patricia L. Winter
Psychology and Child Development
Depreciative behaviors and other undesirable recreationist actions continue to be a topic of great interest for recreation management (fig. 1, above). Maintaining park ecosystems involves responding to and preventing damage from depreciative recreationist behavior, and recreation managers are charged with developing and selecting effective tools to address the costly and perplexing impacts of undesirable recreationist behavior.
This article describes the Environmental Intervention Handbook for Resource Managers (EIH), a tool we designed to help managers modify depreciative recreationist behavior. The handbook is based on a model of pro-environmental behavior change derived from social science research. It provides “treatments” of depreciative behavior …
The Effect Of Poverty On Child Development And Educational Outcomes, Patrice L. Engle, Maureen M. Black
The Effect Of Poverty On Child Development And Educational Outcomes, Patrice L. Engle, Maureen M. Black
Psychology and Child Development
Poverty affects a child’s development and educational outcomes beginning in the earliest years of life, both directly and indirectly through mediated, moderated, and transactional processes. School readiness, or the child’s ability to use and profit from school, has been recognized as playing a unique role in escape from poverty in the United States and increasingly in developing countries. It is a critical element but needs to be supported by many other components of a poverty alleviation strategy, such as improved opportunity structures and empowerment of families. The paper reviews evidence from interventions to improve school readiness of children in poverty, …
Social Power And Emotional Experience: Actor And Partner Effects Within Dyadic Interactions, Carrie A. Langner, Dacher Keltner
Social Power And Emotional Experience: Actor And Partner Effects Within Dyadic Interactions, Carrie A. Langner, Dacher Keltner
Psychology and Child Development
A dyadic methodological and statistical approach to social power is used to test the notion that an individual’s power and a partner’s power have distinct effects on the individual’s emotional experience. Two studies examined actor and partner effects of social power on emotion within dyadic interactions. Across interpersonal contexts and measures of social power, the individual’s own social power, theorized to activate behavioral approach, was associated with positive emotion (an actor effect). In contrast, being subject to a partner’s elevated social power, theorized to activate behavioral inhibition, was associated with increased negative emotion (a partner effect). The discussion focuses on …
