权力关系影响群体内部的动态。掌权者的决策不仅决定了他们个人的结果，也决定了他们所控制的群体中其他人的结果。然而，掌权者往往会忽视这种照顾集体利益的责任。目前的研究调查了社会认同——有权力的人和无权力的人都属于哪个群体——是如何改变掌权者（和无权力的人）的责任感知的。结合对社会权力和社会认同的研究，我们认为，当对群体的认同强烈（而不是弱）时，掌权者比无权者感受到更多的责任。一项针对领导者的研究和一项实验支持了这一观点，强调尽管掌权者通常主要关心个人的结果，但当他人被纳入（社会）自我时，他们确实感到有责任考虑他人的利益。
Power relations affect dynamics within groups. Power-holders' decisions not only determine their personal outcomes, but also the outcomes of others in the group that they control. Yet, power-holders often tend to overlook this responsibility to take care of collective interests. The present research investigated how social identification - with the group to which both the powerful and the powerless belong - alters perceived responsibility among power-holders (and the powerless). Combining research on social power and social identity, we argue that power-holders perceive more responsibility than the powerless when strongly (rather than when weakly) identifying with the group. A study among leaders and an experiment supported this, highlighting that although power-holders are often primarily concerned about personal outcomes, they do feel responsible for considering others' interests when these others are included in the (social) self.
