个体对他人的权力感知与情绪体验

他人不同的权力水平会引发个体不同的权力感知,带来不同的情绪体验。以往关于权力与情绪的研究多关注的是个体自身作为权力目标时的情况,而研究通过两个实验来探究个体对他人的权力感知与情绪体验之间的关系。实验一采用回忆法,从情绪效价和趋近/回避动机的角度分析个体唤起的情绪反应,发现个体在与不同水平的权力目标交互过程中均表现出了明显的混合情绪,且相比于远距离的高权力目标,个体与近距离的权力目标进行交互时容易产生更多的积极情绪和趋近动机倾向;实验二通过观看视频的方式启动被试的混合情绪,发现以积极情绪为主的混合情绪的唤起会影响个体对他人的权力感知,具体表现为对一定社会距离内的权力目标表现出更高水平的权力感知。

Individual's Perception of Others' Power and Emotional Experience

Different levels of other's power can lead to different perceptions of power and different emotional experiences.Previous researches on power and emotion paid more attention to the situation of the individuals themselves as the subject of power.This study explores the relationship between the individuals' perception of power and emotional experience by two experiments.Experiment 1 used the recall method to analyze the emotional responses evoked by individuals from the perspective of emotional valence and approach/inhibition motivation.It was found that individuals expressed obvious mixed emotions in the process of interacting with different levels of power targets.Specifically,compared with high-power goals in farther social distance,the individuals interacting with power goals in near social distance tended to generate more positive emotions and more approaching motivation.Experiment 2 aroused the mixed emotions of the participants by watching videos,and found that the arousal of mixed emotions would affect the individual's perception of the power of others,which was manifested by a stronger perception of power over the power owner within a certain social distance.
