权力的提升增加了一个人与他人之间的心理距离，根据识解水平理论(Y.trope&N.Liberman，2003)，这种距离应该会导致更抽象的信息处理。因此，与低能量相比，高能量应该与更多的抽象思维联系在一起--专注于刺激的主要方面，检测模式和结构以提取主旨，以及在更高的水平上对刺激进行分类。在6个同时涉及概念任务和知觉任务的实验中，启动高功率比启动低功率会导致更抽象的加工，即使这会导致更差的表现。实验7显示，与以往对抽象思维的神经心理学研究一致，启动高强度也会导致更大的相对战斗半球激活。
Elevated power increases the psychological distance one feels from others, and this distance, according to construal level theory (Y. Trope & N. Liberman, 2003), should lead to more abstract information processing. Thus, high power should be associated with more abstract thinking-focusing on primary aspects of stimuli and detecting patterns and structure to extract the gist, as well as categorizing stimuli at a higher level-relative to low power. In 6 experiments involving both conceptual and perceptual tasks, priming high power led to more abstract processing than did priming low power, even when this led to worse performance. Experiment 7 revealed that in line with past neuropsychological research on abstract thinking, priming high power also led to greater relative fight-hemi spheric activation.
