Relationship Formation

45.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

193
Social comparison plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of personal success and self-worth. Rather than assessing our achievements in isolation, we interpret their significance relative to personal goals and critically in comparison to the performance of others. A grade of B in a mathematics exam might elicit pride if one's expectation was a C, yet result in disappointment if an A was anticipated or if peers achieved superior results. These comparative evaluations illustrate how both...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

38.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.3K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

48.9K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Mixed findings exist regarding the relationship between power and corruption.
  • The influence of social hierarchy on this relationship remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the moderating role of status on the effect of power on corruption.
  • To clarify the mixed results in previous research on power and corruption.

Main Methods:

  • Three studies were conducted, involving a corruption scenario, a corruption game, and real organizational settings.
  • Power and status were manipulated across studies to assess their impact on corrupt intent and behavior.

Main Results:

  • All three studies consistently showed that status moderates the effect of power on corruption.
  • Power significantly increased corruption when individuals had low status.
  • The positive effect of power on corruption diminished when individuals held high status.

Conclusions:

  • Status plays a crucial role in mediating the relationship between power and corruption.
  • Understanding social hierarchy is key to mitigating the corrupting influence of power.
  • Interventions aimed at reducing corruption should consider an individual's status within their social hierarchy.
