本文提出了一个扩展的最近的工作交换网络，并从理论上指定的影响，不同类型的网络连接的权力分配。本文采用功率依赖原理来预测不同组织的交换网络中的功率分布。几个实验室实验的结果报告测试这些预测。计算机模拟结果也提出了测试预测，超出了实验工作。研究结果表明，在交换网络中的权力的轨迹是由网络连接的性质（积极的，消极的，或混合）和资源的稀缺性，改变潜在的依赖关系的因素。
This article presents an extension of recent work on exchange networks and specifies theoretically the implications of different types of network connections for the distribution of power. The paper employs power-dependence principles to make predictions concerning the distribution of power in differently organized exchange networks. The results of several laboratory experiments are reported testing these predictions. Computer simulation results are also presented testing predictions that extend beyond the experimental work. The findings demonstrate that the locus of power in exchange networks is determined by the nature of the network connections (positive, negative, or mixed) and the scarcity of resources, factors that alter the underlying dependency relations.
