One of my favorite papers (and was required when I TA'ed methods). Power and perspectives not taken. People primed with power demonstrated impaired perspective-taking abilities, on tasks that encompassed both affective and cognitive aspects of empathy. https://t.co/YT4xq0VOKY

What people are saying
Discussions highlight the well-supported link between power and reduced perspective-taking, with examples like descriptions of experiments measuring empathy and references to the 'draw an uppercase E' test, which symbolize how power impairs social understanding. The tone is analytical yet accessible, emphasizing the significance of the findings for understanding social dynamics and empathy.
Most discussions agree with the findings that higher power diminishes perspective-taking, with some emphasizing the robustness of the experimental results.
Posts express high interest, referencing the paper as a key resource and sharing related links, indicating active engagement with the topic.
Posts delve into explaining the concepts, referencing specific experiments and methods, showing moderate to deep engagement.
Comments suggest that the research reinforces important ideas about social power, potentially influencing perceptions on empathy and social behavior, though the discussions are mostly academic rather than transformational.
Abstract in brief
- Power boosts self-centered behavior and reduces the likelihood of considering others' perspectives, as shown in experiments where high-power individuals focus more on their own view and less on what others see or know.
- High-power participants also struggle with understanding others' emotions and adjust less for the perspectives and knowledge of others, indicating that power hampers empathy and social understanding.
- Overall, these studies suggest that having power can make people more likely to ignore or overlook other people's viewpoints, feelings, and knowledge.]

@roybahat Yes! It's a natural experiment version of the "draw an uppercase E on your forehead" test. https://t.co/Qy5KCJ9a6o

And if social psychology teaches us anything, it's that people become even LESS likely to take others' perspectives/ see others' viewpoints once they're in power. https://t.co/F3q0SQR7Zc

@PrzemekTomalski I właśnie to, o czym piszesz: zdolność do przyjmowania perspektywy i otwartość na cudze poglądy, jest najbardziej upośledzone u osób obdarzonych nieograniczoną niczym władzą. https://t.co/JIF0OsgLIj
