9400718 Markovsky This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. It is an experimental laboratory study of the emergence of cooperation in exchange networks. Previous research has focused on positional power, and on how those actors in high power positions can gain resource advantages despite the actions of other actors in the network. However, power advantages in some networks require a degree of coordination between actors in different network positions in order to be realized. Some network structures induce this coordination; other inhibit it. The present research will: 1) test a new theoretical extension of network exchange theory based on this idea of interactive power; 2) investigate the effects of structural variations and levels of communication on the emergence of cooperation between self interested actors in exchange networks, and 3) test a measure of relational power that shows the temporary effects on power of the pattern of use of different relations in a network. %%% This experiment contributes to structural social psychology, developing and testing additions to a widely-accepted theoretical approach. Although the research is abstract, the theoretical principles are believed to apply to work groups, families, and decision-making bureaucracies, so scientific advances may contribute indirectly to improvements in administrative and management techniques. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists. ***

小行星9400718 这是一个奖项下的赠款为改善博士论文研究计划。 这是一个实验性的实验室研究合作的出现在交换网络。 以前的研究集中在位置权力，以及那些在高权力位置的行为者如何获得资源优势，尽管网络中的其他行为者的行动。 然而，某些网络中的权力优势需要不同网络位置的行为者之间进行一定程度的协调才能实现。 本研究的目的是：1）检验基于互动权力思想的网络交换理论的一个新的理论扩展;（2）研究结构变化和交流水平对交换网络中自利行为者之间合作出现的影响，3）测试关系权力的衡量标准，该标准显示了网络中不同关系的使用模式对权力的暂时影响。 %%% 这个实验有助于结构社会心理学，发展和测试添加到一个广泛接受的理论方法。 虽然研究是抽象的，但理论原则被认为适用于工作组，家庭和决策官僚机构，因此科学进步可能间接有助于改善行政和管理技术。 除了通过研究取得的科学成果外，该奖项还将在物质上帮助一位非常有前途的学生完成博士研究。 论文 因此，它有助于国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的全面培训。 ***
