权力可以通过外表获得:那些表现出权力行为信号的人通常会被以一种允许他们真正获得这种权力的方式对待(里奇韦,伯杰,史密斯,1985;史密斯和加林斯基,2010)。在这篇文章中,我们研究了人际沟通中的权力信号,探讨了具体语言和抽象语言的使用是否被视为权力的信号。因为权力激活了抽象(例如,Smith & Trope,2006),感知者可能期望更高权力的人说更抽象的话,因此会推断使用更抽象语言的说话者有更高的权力。在7个实验的各种背景和会话主题中,参与者认为当他们使用更抽象的语言(与更具体的语言相比)时,受访者更强大。抽象语言的使用似乎会影响感知权力,因为它似乎反映了判断的意愿和抽象思维的一般风格。
Power can be gained through appearances: People who exhibit behavioral signals of power are often treated in a way that allows them to actually achieve such power (Ridgeway, Berger, & Smith, 1985; Smith & Galinsky, 2010). In the current article, we examine power signals within interpersonal communication, exploring whether use of concrete versus abstract language is seen as a signal of power. Because power activates abstraction (e.g., Smith & Trope, 2006), perceivers may expect higher power individuals to speak more abstractly and therefore will infer that speakers who use more abstract language have a higher degree of power. Across a variety of contexts and conversational subjects in 7 experiments, participants perceived respondents as more powerful when they used more abstract language (vs. more concrete language). Abstract language use appears to affect perceived power because it seems to reflect both a willingness to judge and a general style of abstract thinking.
