权力和支配地位被广泛认为是人际关系研究中的基本概念。权力理论，即邓巴的二元权力理论（DPT），通过在与陌生人同盟的互动中操纵权力进行了实验测试。参与者的言语和非言语支配行为是从他们互动的录像中编码的。 DPT 提出，个人在平等权力关系中会比在不平等关系中表现出更多的主导地位，并且增加个人的相对权力将增加个人对遭遇的满意度。结果显示，平等权力和不平等高权力条件下的人比不平等低权力条件下的人表现出更大的主导地位和满意度，但不平等高权力条件下的人受合伙人的影响最小，对合伙企业的决策保持最大的控制权。讨论了 DPT 的含义以及微观层面的主导行为与主导互动者的宏观印象之间的关系。
Power and dominance are widely recognized as fundamental concepts in the study of human relationships. A theory of power, Dunbar's dyadic power theory (DPT), was tested experimentally by manipulating power in interactions with confederate strangers. Participants' verbal and nonverbal dominance behaviors were coded from videotapes of their interactions. DPT proposes that individuals will display more dominance in equal power relationships than in unequal relationships and increasing an individual's relative power will increase that individual's satisfaction with the encounter. The results revealed that the equal-power and unequal high-power conditions displayed more dominance and were more satisfied than those in the unequal low-power conditions but those in the unequal-high power condition were the least affected by their partners and maintained the most control over the partnership's decisions. Implications for DPT and the relationship between microlevel dominance behaviors and the macrolevel impressions of dominant interactants are discussed.
