打个比方，力量等于向上。借鉴认知的具身理论，作者认为，对权力的思考涉及对空间的心理模拟，并可能受到垂直差异感知的干扰。研究1评估了权力的意象图式，发现了一个共享的垂直差异隐喻。研究2、3和4表明，对一个群体权力的判断受到该群体在空间中的垂直位置和暗示垂直运动的运动反应的影响。研究5排除了垂直位置对权力判断的影响是由效价差异驱动的。研究6表明，垂直位置也影响权力判断结果本身。证据表明，权力的概念部分表现为知觉形式的垂直差异。
Metaphorically, power equals up. Drawing on embodied theories of cognition, the author argues that thinking about power involves mental simulation of space and can be interfered with by perception of vertical differences. Study 1 assessed image schemas for power and found a shared vertical difference metaphor. Studies 2, 3, and 4 showed that the judgment of a group's power is influenced by the group's vertical position in space and motor responses implying vertical movement. Study 5 ruled out that the influence of vertical position on power judgments is driven by valence differences. Study 6 showed that vertical position also influences the power judgment result itself. The evidence suggests that the concept of power is partly represented in perceptual form as vertical difference.
