The final expert situations used for this study were agreed upon by the judges to be clear examples of expertise, but also possibly examples of information power. Social influence is defined as ' change in the belief, attitude, or behavior of a person (the target of influence), which results from the action of another person (an influencing agent) ', and social power as the potential for such influence.

In response to new theoretical conceptualizations (Raven, 1992, 1993), an instrument was developed to measure 11 bases of power, the original 6 French and Raven (1959; Raven, 1965) bases of power, with 3 of these further differentiated: reward (personal, impersonal), coercion (personal.

Loadings greater than 0.5 were obtained for most of these items. For all the situations except for the expert situations, the selections were quite direct. It was posited that most forms of social influence, and, in their potential, most bases of power, could be considered as stemming from five different bases of power-reward, coercion, legitimate, expert, Barnard (1938), pp. This calculation was made for all sets of items having at least a commonality of 0.35 for the smallest loading item. The influencee's underlying feelings of "oughtness" toward the compliant behavior and "has the right" toward the influencer characterize this power base. If other situational and internal forces balance A's force, then no change will occur. Hinkin T., Schriesheim C. A. Since efforts were taken to encourage responsible participation by the subjects and no response patterns were observed in the data, it is felt that the procedure used is acceptable.].

In this study, the authors sought to determine the differential susceptibility to a social power base as utilized by one's spouse.

[The manipulation check for expert power was a one item, nine point scale--"I feel that the knowledge and competence of the salesman who is being studied here is"--with end points of "slightly below average" and definitely above average." Thus, these values suggest that even though the items were designed and rated by judges to be measuring the same concept, the "common" portion of the items account for at best 52.9% of the item scores' variance. The standard of comparison for the superiority of A can be either his knowledge or his skills, or B can try to measure it against an external standard. Yukl (2006), p. 146; Bass (1990), pp. stream A commonly cited definition is that of French and Raven (1959) and Cartwright and Zander (1968) who define influence as "a change in cognition, attitude, behavior or emotion of one person which can be attributed to another agent." Social power is "the potential influence of one person over another" (Cartwright and Zander, p. 316). It is, however, important to recognize that these frameworks are tentative, being derived from developing literatures. Hirst/Baxter (1993), p. 188 (italics added). This scaling procedure implies a "single common factor" model (Green, 1954). Cf.

This surveillance by A is also important for another power base, coercion.

Advances in Consumer Research Volume 6, 1979 Pages 340-346 MEASURING THE BASES OF SOCIAL POWER John L. Swasy (student), University of California, Los Angeles ABSTRACT - The French and Raven conceptualization of social power and previous operationalizations of the bases of social power are reviewed. Thus each situation had six scores (one for each type of social power) ranging from the lowest possible (6) to the highest (30). 0000001446 00000 n From choosing which brand of washing powder to buy, to forming an opinion on political ideologies, we are susceptible and influenced by the individuals around us. For each power basis, two situations were selected which depicted that social power base; (4) Subjects assumed the role of the influencee in a situation and responded to multiple items reflecting each basis of power; (5) Items reflecting each social power basis were analyzed to determine the most reliable items for the final scale; (6) Power base scores across situations were compared as a check on predictive validity. Vandenbosch (1999), p. 82; Ansari/Euske (1987), p. 552; Burchell et al. 163f. For this study a Likert approach was selected. Cf. Table 1 presents the information on the factor analysis of each scale. Thus, while these items have reportedly high reliability, (0.85, Byrne, D. and D. Nelson, 1965), some questions arise regarding the validity of using measures of attraction as surrogates for referent power in a situation where several power bases are operant. After the summary, the author responds to a series of questions that probe the work in greater depth, allowing explication of much of the thinking underlying and leading to publications of . /T 785253 : Addison-Wesley, 1975). An important aspect in the development of the scenarios was the need to generate situations which clearly depicted only one type of social power.

Because this power base is often derived from many complex societal and personal values, the range of legitimate power A has over B will vary across situations. Breadcrumbs Section. Darwin Cartwright, "A Field Theoretical Conception of Power," in D. Cartwright (ed.) 713-5). Thus, having only one situation to represent the higher legitimate power value and 11 situations having small values could cause these lower intercorrelations. 713-5). 177f. The development of an instrument to measure perceived social power is presented. While the outcome of an influence exchange between two persons was very important to these early theorists, the process of influence and the reasons for social power were also described.

Cartwright (1965), pp. One paradoxical type of legitimate influence is that of the "dependent" and "powerless." Another method of operationalizing social power in an experimental design is via a cartoon representation (Leet-Pellegrini and Rubin, 1974, Raven, 1973). TABLE 2 SOCIAL POWER SCALES The predictive validity of the SP scales was examined by performing a one way ANOVA, with the situations as the treatments and a power score as the dependent variable. 0 In this dissertation, the terms social influence and influence are used synonymously. 0000015384 00000 n For example, a person may appear "helpless" in order to get another to perform a task. Raven (1992), pp. The consistency between the scale values and situations suggest that the scales have reasonable predictive validity. While a thorough review of common experimental treatment operationalizations of the other social power bases is beyond the scope of this paper, it should be noted that they seldom are more sophisticated than that of those mentioned above. In some situations a person who has little power can emphasize his powerlessness and influence the more powerful. This comparison was made using manipulation check measures for referent power which were two 7 Point items("how much they (subject) would like the salesman if the met him" and "would they enjoy working with him in a research experiment.") To the extent that A's legitimate power is derived from a general value or belief of B, A would be expected to have power across many situations. Then each scale will be briefly reviewed.

Thus either because of societal or personal norms, the more powerful person is obligated to conform to the request of the "powerless" (e.g., a prosperous person giving money to a beggar). However, with coercive power the influencee's attraction toward the influencer should decrease and cause the influencee to avoid further encounters with the influencer. x+*263P A#=CJURw4Pp <> REFERENCES Paul Busch and David T.

This definition takes over the semantic meaning of the verb to use, i.e., [] to employ for a purpose; put into action or service. Longman (1987), p. 1161. From this one might suggest that either the concept of referent power, the method of operationalization, or the manipulation check measures be revised. Part of Springer Nature. In summary, the scales for the French and Raven power bases provide reasonable levels of internal consistency. While this cartoon method provides an alternative to the film presentation of Busch and Wilson, the need for manipulation checks remains. 74f. Andrew P. Kakabadse, Nada Korac Kakabadse, KEYWORDS: Although the operationalizations employed in this study appeared at least on the surface, to be reasonable, the authors reported only marginal differences in referent power between the high referent-low expert and iow ref-erent-high expert conditions.
